In memory of Azar Abooameri (Zahir), Bonyad Azar was founded soon after the Bam earthquake to support surviving children and widows.

Eight children live in a house in the city of Kerman. These children [- Roghayeh Abroush - Mahdieh Balangi - Hadis Kamkar - Parissa Najafi-pour - Khatereh Rohani -] go to school and make an effort to live a normal life under the circumstances. The plan is to build a house in Bam as soon as possible so that these kids and those who may be a member of the family in the future have the opportunity to grow up in their hometown and among their relatives. After all, Bam belongs to them.

Mrs. Maryam Zahir, the founder, and nine dedicated volunteers in the board of directors envision the activities of the Bonyad. In addition to the volunteers, there are eight people on its payroll: a manager, three social workers, a tutor, a cook, a housekeeper, and a driver. It is a great collective effort for a greater cause.

Here is an opportunity for all of us to contribute to the welfare of these children. If this humanitarian cause is a matter of interest to you, please complete the attached membership form and submit it with your contribution. Your financial support will go a long way and make a real difference. Thank you for your generosity and God bless.
