How We Got Started

There was a kind and generous man living in this rural village in India who cared deeply for people. He dedicated his life to being of service. Janmohmed Mamdani passed away on February 14, 2013. To honor him and his mission to help others, his sister Raziya (Farukh's mom), along with her siblings started this charity.

It started with a 1-day health camp which was held one year after Janmohmed's passing, in February of 2014. Family members throughout the US and India worked tirelessly to make the first health camp possible, and have continued to volunteer every year to grow the services we provide. Each year we’ve been expanding the program to establish healthy living, the raising up of girls, breaking the cycle of poverty, and the groundwork for a successful life to this part of India.

Farukh, Heidi and a couple of family members self-funded the charity for the first few years, and then in 2018 we set it up as an official non-profit so that we could accept tax-deductible donations from friends and family in order to expand the work.
