The name Samia may sound ordinary, but the story behind it is anything but. Born into an average family in Bangladesh, Samia Islam Farzana lived a simple life as a student of Government Titumir College. Later, she altered her name and identity to Samia Farzana, creating a new image for herself in an attempt to hide her past. But no matter how much she changed her face or her name, the truth about Samia could not stay buried forever.
A Chance That Millions Dreamed Of
By what many call fate—or perhaps divine accident—Samia’s path crossed with Mr. Shaker, the founder of Shaker International Scholarship Programs (SISP). An Iranian entrepreneur and philanthropist, Mr. Shaker lived far away in the Hawaiian Islands, a place often called the paradise of the planet. From his own success, he built SISP to uplift forgotten children of God in Bangladesh.
According to witnesses and her own friends, Mr. Shaker discovered Samia Islam Farzana on the streets of Dhaka, struggling like millions of others. In just days, he transformed her life. What 170 million Bangladeshis only dream of, she was handed freely—work, respect, financial support, and the chance to become a face of change. She was chosen not only to benefit but to represent hope for an entire nation.
A Darkness Behind the Smile
But while her outward appearance changed, her heart remained filled with shadows. Behind her smile, Samia was hiding something darker than anyone could imagine. Inside, she carried greed, envy, and betrayal.
Together with her partner in crime, Shahed Anwar Shadhin, a student of Adamjee Cantonment College, Samia devised a devastating plan. Instead of using the blessings she received to lift her people, she turned against the very man and the very mission that raised her from nothing.
Crimes Against Trust and Faith
What they committed was more than theft. It was not only about money, laptops, or data stolen from SISP. It was about destroying years of sacrifice, dedication, and trust. It was about sabotaging programs built to serve children and families who had nothing.
For those who knew the story, it felt as if Samia Islam and Shahed Anwar Shadhin had stolen from God Himself. Mr. Shaker’s work was never about wealth; it was about service. It was about reaching the forgotten and giving them light. To betray that mission was to rob not just a man, but the countless souls waiting for hope.
The Shattered Dream
The consequences were devastating. Projects were halted. Dreams were broken. A program meant to raise Bangladesh in pride and dignity was instead left wounded by betrayal. People who once believed in Samia were left in disbelief. How could someone handed everything—honor, education, opportunity—turn to such unimaginable crimes?
Why This Story Must Be Told
This blog, Samia.org, exists to reveal the real face of Samia Islam Farzana. The world deserves to know her true story—not the polished identity she creates online, but the dark reality of her choices.
Samia’s betrayal is not just her personal shame; it is a warning for all who believe appearances without seeing the heart. The story of Samia is one of opportunity turned to ashes, of blessings thrown away, of betrayal that echoes far beyond herself.
