WZO Trust Funds Kindles Hope and Dignity to 300+ Families through Annual Food Grains & essentials Distribution Drive in Gujarat and parts of Maharashtra.

Team WZO Trust Funds

In our continuing efforts to support underprivileged families living in remote and interior villages, The WZO Trust Funds once again carried out its annual distribution of food grains and essential household supplies, reaching more than 323 families across rural Gujarat and parts of Maharashtra during this January and February.

For many families residing in the interior areas surrounding Navsari, access to basic necessities remains a daily struggle. Recognizing this reality, The WZO Trust Funds organized a five-route distribution drive covering 59 centres especially villages of Navsari District,, Vansda, Dharampur Taluka, Dadra and Nagar Haveli (UT), and Palghar Taluka.

Volunteers and Trustees traveled long distances to personally hand over relief kits, witnessing firsthand the quiet resilience of families facing economic hardship. The smiles, folded hands of gratitude, and heartfelt blessings from elderly beneficiaries reflected the true impact of this initiative — not just relief, but renewed hope.

Each kit was carefully curated and designed to support a family for nearly four months and included:

15 kg Groundnut Oil, 20 kg Tuvar Dal, Wheat 15 kg, four varieties of different pulses each for 5 kg, Sugar, Tea, Toothpaste and Toothbrush, comforter bed sheet, towels and napkins, the value of each package being Rs.9,000.

Beyond providing nourishment, the initiative aimed to restore dignity and reassurance to families who often feel forgotten. For many recipients, this support means fewer nights of worry and more days of stability.

The Trust extends its deepest gratitude to our many donors, especially:

1. The Zoroastrian Charity Funds of Hong Kong, Canton & Macao,
2. Bai Maneckbai P. B. Jeejeebhoy Deed of Settlement Funds,
3. World Zoroastrian Organisation, London
4. Dr. Porus Turner, who has consistently supported this noble cause over the last 25 years and more by sponsoring the dental items.

whose generosity continues to light up countless homes.

Our mission goes beyond distribution — it is about standing with communities at their most vulnerable times. Every packet delivered carries not just food, but compassion.We remain steadfast in our commitment to serve marginalized communities and expand our outreach to bring comfort, care, and dignity to those in need.

We are very thankful to our volunteers Mrs. Sharmin Tamboly, Mrs. Simin Bharda (from Navsari) and Mr. Hoshadar Parakh (Mumbai) for combining their shoulders with Trustees to carry out this full exercise of distribution.

Our next bout of distribution will begin by end February / early March when food grain packages will be distributed to around 600 economically challenged families in and around Mumbai & suburbs by our volunteer Jimmy Gadiwalla.

WZO SENIOR CITITZENS CENTRE'S PHYSIOTHERAPY ROOM:

Caregiving has taught us to love those dependent on our care, in ways we didn’t know existed.

Compassion has taught us to relate with people differently because at our Senior Citizens Centre, we consider caregiving as a duty and not as a drain on our energy.

UPDATE ON SANJAN SANATORIUM

This is in furtherance of the recent public notice issued by The WZO Trust Funds with respect to the proposed sale of its property situated at CS No. 618, Paiki, Village Sanjan, popularly known as the ‘Sanjan Sanatorium’.

The Trust has provided boarding and lodging at the Sanatorium at nominal rates to members of the Parsi/Irani Zoroastrian Community since the year 2001.

Over the last few years, the Trust has suffered high operational losses in doing so. Many attempts have been made by the Trustees to offset the same, and several avenues were explored in that regard.

Since no improvement was forthcoming, the Trustees were left with no option but to take a decision to put the property up for sale so that the monies being spent on the property, as well as the sale proceeds thereof, can be better utilized for more deserving charitable purposes.

Trustees had simultaneously also continued their efforts to find ways and means to ensure that the property need not be sold.

A Donor (who wishes to remain anonymous) has now graciously committed support to ensure that the Sanitorium can remain operational for the next few years without any financial burden to the Trust.

Therefore, the immediate need to sell the said property at present is not necessary. The Trustees have decided therefore to currently suspend the process with respect to the proposed auction sale.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Donor, as also to all those who supported the Trust in the aforesaid process, and regret any inconvenience that may have been caused to any of the bidders and others involved in the sale auction process.

Trustees
The WZO Trust Funds.
