Our Mission

The Almas Jiwani Foundation (AJF) is a non-profit organization that seeks to empower women and girls through focused projects that will directly address gender equality, education, energy and entrepreneurship rights and impact their lives in positive, meaningful ways. AJF Programs will be aimed at empowering girls and women by expanding access to education, increasing economic opportunity, and providing or improving access to the energy at the most local levels possible.

About Almas Jiwani Foundation

Gender equality is not only a basic human right, but its achievement has enormous socio-economic ramifications. Empowering women fuels thriving economies, spurring productivity and growth.

And yet, gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched in every society. Women lack access to decent work and face occupational segregation and gender wage gaps. They are too often denied access to basic education and health care. Women in all parts of the world suffer violence and discrimination. They are under-represented in political and economic decision-making processes.

AJF was created to address such challenges. It is a dynamic and strong champion for women and girls, providing them with a powerful voice at the global, regional and local levels. We work to improve the lives of women in Canada and around the world.

 Your generosity today will provide a better tomorrow for girls and women worldwide.
