About us

A family dedicated to humanity

Born in Africa, we grew up acutely aware of poverty and helplessness. That awareness became our purpose and in 2001, the Mohsin & Fauzia Jaffer Foundation was born to uplift humanity and create lasting change.

Our story

A Journey of Compassion That Began in 2001

Having been blessed with successful careers in South Florida, we established the Foundation in 2001 to create meaningful opportunities and lasting change in communities around us.

Over the years, our efforts have grown beyond local boundaries—expanding globally, partnering with communities and organizations, and touching thousands of lives.

"Compassion is the bridge between human pain and divine grace. Our mission is to build that bridge every single day."
