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 Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act that was signed into law by President Bush on December 19, 2007. 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. Amjad has close friendships with the children and staff at Aziza's Place, the Foundation's most active and dynamic project, where he visits at least three times per year.
