Pride of Britain: The student breaking down barriers for young Muslim women
We have been asking for your nominations for people in our region that go the extra mile to help others and raise money for charity.
Four individuals have been shortlisted for the chance to become the Midlands finalist for the Pride of Britain Regional Fundraiser of the Year.
Murium Asim travels from Derby to Birmingham every day after her day job to run her faith based Eidgah Academy, an after school club in Perry Barr.
She teaches children Arabic, as well as organising games and social activities.
Her aim was to create a community hub where the children learn about their faith, but also where the values of compassion and consideration for others are nurtured.
Murium told ITV News Central: "Just being there for a child can change their mindset. It can stop them getting involved in drugs. It can stop them getting involved in anti social behaviour.
"It can help them take a successful route in life. Thats my aim - to see happy children."
Murium started with 20 to 30 children less than a year ago. She now she has 130 pupils every day - and the waiting list is growing.
As well as the volunteering and fundraising, Murium wants to break down some of the barriers young Muslim girls face.
She said: "The Asian community is very conservative about females. They don't let daughters out exploring.
"I was encouraged to do sport and if I can bring in my experience, and say its ok for young girls to play football and get an education, then I'll feel I've done my part in society."
Its something of a family affair. Murium's uncle, Rahib Rashid, runs his own charity called the Mankind Welfare Trust.
It provide humanitarian relief in Pakistan and run a clean water campaigns and education throughout Asia.
He had described as a "breath of fresh air".
"She's an inspiring individual, full of energy and ideas. She's very good with people. That's why the academy has grown so quickly," he said.
"She empathises with people and never says no. It's rare for someone so young to so enthused about helping her community"
