“The poorest people in India have been hardest hit during this pandemic, so I wanted to help” said founder and chairman, Muhammed Majeed, PhD, in a press release. “While many of the Foundation’s programs are focused upon helping poor children receive an education so they have a brighter future, right now they are just trying to survive.
