Welcome!

The Nasreen and Alam Sher Foundation is a non-governmental, non-religious, non-political and not for profit organization.  It was formed in the USA in February 2007 by Dr. Alam Sher and Mrs. Nasreen A. Sher, who realized that people are more focused on areas of wealth and economic growth than giving significance to human care and development.  Dr. Sher wanted to emphasize ways to give due respect to human development, freedom, caring about human rights, quality and equality in the lives of ordinary people.  He led the formation and organization of the Nasreen and Alam Sher Foundation to promote health, education, humanities and peace in South Asian countries and beyond. The NASF believes that human development cannot be assessed with the economic growth of the country.  It is about creating an environment in which people can demonstrate their capabilities and optimize its utilization. 

Who are Nasreen and Alam Sher?

Nasreen and Alam Sher are the founders of this organization.  They have known each other since their childhood when they lived in Lahore, Pakistan.  They have been happily married since January 1974.  In traditional Punjabi love stories, the title of the story is always the name of the couple that the story is about, with the woman’s name always listed first.  In the honor of this tradition and his wife, Alam Sher came up with the name of the foundation.
