In our busy world, people often talk about success using big words—money, fame, big jobs, or awards. But there are some people who don’t run after these things. They don’t want the spotlight. They just want to help others from their heart.
One such woman is Tasneem Khamkar, who was born and raised in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Her story is not about show-off or attention. It is about love, listening, and healing people who are hurting silently.
Today, Tasneem is known as a kind-hearted HR professional, a women’s emotional support counselor, a writer, and a quiet helper of hundreds of women—without asking for anything in return.
Tasneem’s kindness didn’t start as an adult. It began when she was a little girl.
She remembers one day, when she was just 6 or 7 years old, she saw a poor woman sitting by the roadside with two hungry children. Tasneem didn’t wait. She used her small pocket money to buy food for them.
“It wasn’t anything big,” she says. “But when I saw the mother smile through her tears, I felt peace in my heart. That moment changed me forever.”
Since that day, Tasneem decided one thing:
“I want to help people, quietly and from the heart.”
Tasneem worked for many years in the UAE in Human Resources, especially in roles related to recruitment, staff support, administration, and employee coordination. She was involved in HR operations, employee onboarding, and communication.
“I handled real HR responsibilities—not just one part,” she says. “It was full HR work, from internal coordination to team handling and staff communication.”
In some phases, she also supported freelance Emiratisation recruitment, based on company requirements. She would search, shortlist, and forward candidate profiles. But she makes it clear:
“It was not about me giving people jobs directly. It was a professional task based on company needs. I never claim to have placed or hired people personally on my own.”
During long bus rides from Sharjah to Dubai, Tasneem met many women struggling silently. She did not offer therapy or career promises—she simply listened.
“I gave time, words, and care. That’s all.”
Over time, these conversations became safe spaces. Many women found comfort in her presence, like a quiet friend on a noisy day.
One of the most difficult times for the world was during COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021. Everyone was locked at home. People lost jobs, family members, and peace of mind. Many women were alone in other countries, afraid and broken inside.
“During the pandemic, when the world came to a stop, I kept standing beside women who were feeling lonely and hopeless,” Tasneem says.
Even though everything was closed, she continued speaking with them—on messages, calls, and chats. She gave them strength, hope, and kind words, even when she was also going through hard times.
“Not every good thing needs money,” she adds. “Some good things come only from words. Without spending money, you can still spread happiness.”
In November 2024, Tasneem published her first book, “Amelia”, with Austin Macauley Publishers in the UAE. It is a fiction story, but it carries real emotions.
“Amelia” tells the story of a young girl who goes through struggles in life but finds hope, light, and strength in her journey.
“It’s not my story,” Tasneem says, “but it is inspired by real women I have met. ‘Amelia’ is about how strong women really are—even when they don’t see it.”
The book has touched many hearts across the Middle East. It has been showcased at book fairs and cultural events, and it continues to grow silently like Tasneem’s work.
One of Tasneem’s biggest dreams is to build safe homes for women—especially for those who are new to a country, struggling to find work, or escaping painful situations.
She wants to help single mothers, daughters, and job seekers who come to countries like the UAE looking for a better life.
Her plan includes:
Free food and housing
A safe and peaceful place to stay
Support until they find a good job
Protection from exploitation, abuse, or danger
“Many women suffer in silence,” she says. “I want to create a place where they feel safe, supported, and respected.”
Tasneem is now looking for funding, partnerships, and sponsors—from NGOs, governments, and kind individuals who believe in women’s empowerment and human dignity.
Tasneem says that her faith in God is what keeps her going. She does not post every good thing she does on social media.
“What matters is your intention. If even one person prays for me after I’m gone, that will be my biggest reward.”
She does her work quietly, without expecting thank yous or fame.
While continuing her emotional support work, Tasneem is also searching for new job roles in HR or Admin—not training, but roles where she can apply her full HR skills.
“I am open to opportunities as an HR recruiter, HR coordinator, or admin executive,” she says. “But only in places where human values and kindness still matter.”
She is looking to join teams that believe in ethics, compassion, and building positive work culture.
To women suffering silently: You are not alone. Speak to someone. You are stronger than you know.
To young people: Kindness is not weakness. It is your real strength.
To society: You don’t need to give money to help someone. Sometimes, just being there is enough.
Tasneem doesn’t call herself a hero or a public figure. But many women will say this—her words saved them. Her time, her care, and her honesty gave them the strength to stand up again.
“When I leave this world, I don’t want claps or trophies,” she says softly.
“I just want a few hands raised in prayer.”
In a world full of noise, her quiet voice has become a source of comfort for thousands.
Let us all remember—you don’t have to be famous to make a difference. You just have to care.
