Amjad Ghori
Aziza’s Father and Co-Founder/Director
As an international banker and global energy project developer, Amjad has spent a great deal of time in emerging areas and knows the impact that small donations make toward improving the lives of the world’s neediest, especially children.

Amjad co-founded the Aziza Ghori Charitable Foundation to provide educational opportunities and safe homes for underprivileged children in selected countries across the world. Between September 2004 and September 2006, Amjad took a sabbatical and spent significant time developing the various projects being undertaken by the Aziza Foundation, visiting each location and project.

During this time, Amjad has also devoted his personal time and effort to advocating child-safety in hopes of eliminating child fatalities through a variety of educational and legislative measures. As part of this process, Amjad provided input into the drafting of the Spa and Pool Safety Act which will be introduced into the US Senate and US House of Representatives for approval. The Act mandates stricter safety guidelines for spas and pools to eliminate instances of child-fatalities through entrapment.

Friends and acquaintances of the Ghori family help Amjad find and develop projects for the Aziza Foundation. Amjad makes a personal point of site visits to review ideas, develop initiatives and craft Foundation support.

Fauzia Ghori
Aziza's Mother and Co-Founder
Since February 2006, Fauzia has taken sabbatical from her position as V.P. of a major marketing company in the U.S. to focus her time and energy on the Foundation's work.

She has traveled extensively, helping establish some of the Foundation’s programs and even participated in documentary filming in Cambodia.

While committed to the success of all Foundation projects, Fauzia is fully focused on two of the largest projects, the Aziza Yasmeen Ghori School in Pakistan and Aziza's Place, the orphanage in Cambodia.

Nader Ebrahimi
Director, Aziza’s Place
Having witnessed the plight of Cambodia’s vulnerable youth and having worked extensively as a filmmaker, Nader decided to move to Phnom Penh to help bring positive change to these children’s lives.

A native of San Francisco, Nader worked in New York and Barcelona before settling in Cambodia in late 2005. Nader is committed to housing and educating poor children at Aziza’s Place and to giving them the chance to achieve their full potential.

Aziza’s Place opened in January 2007.
