This simple sentiment reflects the soul of ZTFI the Zoroastrian Trust Funds of India, an organization that has, for over 13 years, stood as a pillar of hope and belonging for the weaker sections of the Parsi/ Irani Zoroastrian community.
Born of the belief that true charity begins with dignity, ZTFI is more than just a trust offering aid. It is a family – one that uplifts, supports and embraces those in need through life’s many challenges. Be it food, medical assistance, monetary support, or emotional reassurance, ZTFI’s presence is quietly felt in hundreds of lives, every single month.
Over the years, ZTFI’s Feed-A-Family Program has become a lifeline for over 350 families, delivering monthly rations and basic essentials directly to their doorsteps. The Medical Assistance Program has helped countless seniors and underprivileged Parsis access critical care, surgeries, and long-term treatments. Our Monthly Financial Aid has given the underserved a sense of security and stability, often becoming the reason someone is able to keep their home, continue their child’s education, or access medicines.
But ZTFI does not stop at relief – it believes in rebuilding. Whether it’s helping a widow regain confidence, guiding a youngster towards self-employment, or organizing events that bring joy and human connection, our efforts are rooted in love and dignity. Take, for instance, our Annual Day event held recently, where small Parsi entrepreneurs were given a platform to showcase their homegrown products and services. It wasn’t just about sales, it was about recognition, encouragement and inclusion. These are the silent revolutions that ZTFI hopes to lead… not just handouts, but hands held in solidarity.
None of this would be possible without the deep commitment of our extended ZTFI family – our Trustees, Managing Committee members, donors and volunteers, who are the real strength behind every effort we undertake.
At the heart of it all is our Founder, Trustee Yasmin Mistry, whose vision continues to guide the Trust’s every step forward. She is joined by Founder Trustee Kersi Randeria, whose contribution has been instrumental since inception. Our Trustee Arnavaz Mistry, the real guiding force, brings wisdom, strength, and a hands-on approach to every initiative. And Trustee Xerxes Master continues to lend wholehearted support and commitment to every cause we undertake.
Our Managing Committee includes some of the most dedicated and compassionate individuals, including Shiraz Guard, Kersi Gaud, Kashmira Khambata, Vistasp Mehta, Hutokshi Dadabhoy, Aspi Elavia, Kerfegar Edulji, Zubin Darawshah, Anahita Dhalla and Nevil Zaveri, among many others who have stood by ZTFI like family, giving their time, energy and unconditional support.
As we look to the future, our vision is to expand our impact, reach more homes and touch more lives. We invite every Zoroastrian who believes in the strength of family and the power of compassion to come forward and be a part of this journey. Because ZTFI is not just an organization… it is an emotion, it is family.
