Communities that DR. SAJIDA NADEEM follow.
Sajida Nadeem, the Founder Director of the Dr. Zakir Hussain Foundation, is a true source of inspiration. She is a self-made woman and a proud mother of two sons. Her journey has been filled with challenges, but she has emerged from them even stronger. She alongwith her husband Nadeem Raja, an enthusiastic and socially active man, started their own NGO to reach out to those in need. Sajida wholeheartedly supported her husband in realizing his dreams, overcoming numerous obstacles along the way. Together, they officially established their NGO as the Dr. Zakir Hussain Foundation in 2004. Despite facing financial constraints and having a limited team, Sajida tirelessly balanced her personal and professional life.
In their mission to uplift the foundation, they dedicated themselves to aiding society through various means such as medical assistance, health camps, blood donation drives, organizing seminars on pressing social issues, and promoting education. The Foundation demanded an unparalleled level of dedication, devotion, commitment, and a tremendous amount of sacrifice, which both Sajida and her husband unwaveringly provided.
The Dr. Zakir Hussain Foundation is a registered, ISO-certified, non-political, non-governmental organization that relies on self-funding. Its primary focus is to assist the underprivileged and marginalized sections of society by addressing their socioeconomic development and empowerment concerns. Guided by the principle of "SERVICE TO HUMAN BEING IS SERVICE TO GOD," the foundation relentlessly works towards the growth and upliftment of families living below the poverty line, striving for selfless service to humanity.
The Foundation's team is committed to educating and empowering every individual to become agents of positive social change. They firmly believe that every citizen deserves equal opportunities to flourish, irrespective of their color, caste, or religion.
Today, the Dr. Zakir Hussain Foundation proudly supports more than 35,000 beneficiaries through various initiatives, including medical aid, rehabilitation programs, the distribution of aids and appliances, scholarships, and other welfare activities.
Ms. Sajida, as the Founder Director, has been at the forefront of these efforts, providing exemplary social service and benefiting thousands of people. The Foundation now operates a Charitable Ambulance facility, a Sewing Training Centre, and a Coaching & Guidance Centre. Her primary focus lies in health, education, and women's empowerment. Sajida extends her support to women through initiatives like girl child education, financial aid to women in need, and vocational training in sewing and tailoring to promote financial self-sustainability. She has built a network of women activists in Aligarh City to address critical women's issues such as "Female Foeticide," "Women's Safety," and Women's Empowerment in the interiors of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. She champions these causes both as an individual and as a trustee of the Dr. Zakir Hussain Foundation.
Sajida's exceptional management skills are evident in her successful organization of over 20 seminars, conferences, symposiums, and workshops under the Foundation's banner. Moreover, she has mentored numerous students from Aligarh and other universities during their summer internships, guiding them towards meaningful social contributions.
