Among many who were exiled from Uganda in 1972, Pyarali Nanji and his family found a welcome refuge in Canada.

They have been giving back ever since.

This week, the Nanji Family Foundation donated $100,000 to Richmond Hospital, inspiring others to also give to the COVID-19 Response Fund.

Pyarali, his wife Gulshan and their four children are grateful Canada took them in, allowing them to start over. Pyarali and Gulshan made a pledge to give back, and their charitable giving has had a tremendous impact across Canada. 

Today, they hope to inspire our community to join together in this time of crisis. 

Holding firmly to the belief that a positive response to challenging times is an opportunity to demonstrate the goodness and kindness in all of us, the Nanji Family Foundation invites you to join with them to make a significant impact together.  

Starting today, the Nanji Family Foundation has offered to match every dollar donated to the Richmond Hospital Foundation COVID-19 Response Fund, up to a total of $100,000. That means that your generous donation will have double the impact. 

"We are so honoured that the Nanji Family Foundation has committed $100,000 in matching funds to support Richmond Hospital Foundation's COVID-19 Response Fund,” says Natalie Meixner, president and CEO of Richmond Hospital Foundation. “We are thankful for their generosity and leadership, and with their amazing gift they will help us inspire others in the community to do the same during this challenging time."
The Nanji Family Foundation invites you to join together to support this important cause.
