Our Belief
At Ateef Azam Foundation we believe that everyone should have access to clean water, healthy food and safe dental care that is why we embarked on a mission to help provide these essentials to those less fortunate living in Azad Kashmir.
Our Inspiration
Ateef Azam Foundation was an idea that was born during Ateef Azam's time at Lyndon School. Ateef was in Mr Brown's English class where he was studying the use of marketing and media within charities. He was surprised to learn a child dies every minute from water related diseases. Since then, Ateef has always believed passionately in contributing to clean water projects.
As a dental surgeon, Ateef wanted to give back to those less fortunate around the world who suffer daily with dental pain that are unable to access treatment. He believes providing sound education on the importance of good oral hygiene and healthy eating will ensure people will live long and prosperous lives.
