ABOUT AL NAJMA CENTRE
Why Al Najma?
Al Najma was born from a journey that began not in a clinic, but in a home — with a little boy named Afthab. Afthab, the beloved son of our founders, is the light that gave this center its purpose. His unique way of experiencing the world inspired a deep and personal understanding of what it means to support a child’s growth with patience, empathy, and love. In their efforts to find the right help for Afthab, his parents realized how many families were walking similar paths — often feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or unsupported.
They named the center Al Najma, meaning “The Star,” to honor Afthab — the guiding star who led them to create a place of hope, healing, and belief in every child’s potential.
Al Najma is their promise — to Afthab, and to every child — that no one should have to walk this journey alone. This center was created not just to offer therapy, but to become a safe, nurturing space where children are truly understood and celebrated.
Because one child’s light can change everything. Afthab did — and now, so can every star who enters Al Najma.
