Our Mission

Rebuilding what circumstance takes away

Goodwill Kaniz Foundation was founded on a simple belief: that every person deserves access to education, care, and opportunity, regardless of where they were born. We work directly with underserved communities to design programs that respond to their real, on-the-ground needs.

We are not a foundation that hands down solutions — we build them alongside the people we serve, so the change we create outlasts our presence.

Education

Scholarships, school supplies, and learning centers for children who would otherwise go without.

Healthcare

Free medical camps, maternal care, and health awareness in remote and low-income areas.

Relief & Welfare

Emergency aid, food security, and shelter support for families in crisis.

Our Legacy

Founders

The vision and leadership behind Goodwill Kaniz Foundation.

Dr Raja Sami Abid

General Secretary & Founder

Dr. Raja Sami founded Goodwill Kaniz Foundation with a simple yet powerful vision: to give hope, dignity, and opportunities to those who need them the most.

His journey began with a deep realization that many orphaned and underprivileged children have dreams, talent, and potential, but lack the resources and support needed to turn those dreams into reality. Rather than simply witnessing their struggles, Dr. Raja Sami chose to take action.

Through Goodwill Kaniz Foundation, he dedicated himself to creating a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where children can receive education, care, guidance, and the opportunity to build a brighter future.

For Dr. Raja Sami, philanthropy is not just about giving—it is about empowering lives, restoring hope, and creating lasting change.

"If we can change one life for the better, we have already made the world a better place."

Dr Sana Saleem

Vice Chairperson & Founder

At just 17 years of age, she chose a path that would become the purpose of her life — serving humanity. What began with a simple desire to help others grew into a lifelong commitment to stand beside those who need support, hope, and compassion.

Alongside her journey of service, she pursued and completed her medical degree, carrying the belief that healing is not only about medicine, but also about kindness, dignity, and being there for people in their most difficult moments.

She is the Founder of Goodwill Kaniz Foundation, through which she has devoted herself to serving vulnerable communities across Pakistan, working with dedication to bring hope and a better future to those who have been overlooked.

Her journey has demanded sacrifice, courage, and relentless hard work. She has faced challenges, but every smile, every life touched, and every person given hope has reminded her why she started.

She began this journey at 17 — not for recognition, but because she believed that one person can make a difference. Today, that belief continues to guide her mission: to serve, to heal, and to give hope.

"I didn't start this journey to be remembered. I started it so that someone else wouldn't be forgotten."
