Akhlima Khanum

Akhlima Khanum, who is now 14, looked after her four younger siblings from an early age, as both her parents suffered from mental illness. When the children went into foster care in Luton after their mother died, Akhlima fought to keep them together. Within their new family she remains devoted to their care, and has managed to do exceptionally well at school despite the disruptions. Throughout, she has striven to do her best for the people around her.
