Spreading Kindness , Changing Lives

The Global Kindness Foundation was founded in 2007 by Dr. Hasnain Dewji and his wife Fatemah Dewji from Vancouver, British Columbia. They have always had a passion for serving people and in the past have volunteered their time through various other charities and initiatives including Kindness in Action. Through this work, they identified that many impoverished regions were not serviced due to the difficult conditions or lack of desire and thus the Global Kindness Foundation was born. Its early missions were to Najaf, Iraq and Kargil, India. Over time Global Kindness Foundation has visited Carrefour, Haiti, Zanzibar, Tanzania, Calloa, Peru and revisited various cities in Iraq.  In 2010 Global Kindness was granted official charity status and has continued missions every year since 2007

Over the years and the various missions, Global Kindness Foundation realized there was just as much need in other medical speciality areas. As a result, when possible each mission also provides medical, optical and audiology clinics. Global Kindness Foundation has set up a permanent dental clinic in Lucknow, India in the Unity School to serve impoverished students.

Much love and gratitude to the incredible staff at the clinic—from the housekeepers and sterilization techs to the nurses, assistants and dental surgeons. To the selfless individuals who joined me on this mission. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m grateful to @globalkindnessfoundation and their incredible team for making this one possible. The work they do is inspiring, and I’m proud to have been part of it. Learned so much and worked with absolute legends!

Serving with the Global Kindness Foundation in Iraq has been a life-changing experience. The medical camps not only bring healing to those in need but also fill the heart with a deep sense of purpose and humanity. The compassion, dedication, and selflessness of the team inspire me every time. I feel truly honored to stand alongside such incredible people, bringing hope and kindness where it’s needed most.

Volunteering with GKF has been a transformative experience, both personally and professionally. These trips also foster cultural awareness and lasting connections with both the communities we serve and fellow volunteers. I truly believe in using what we have to serve others and GKF is one of the best platforms to do that. I’m honored to be part of this family, and with continued blessings, may we keep making the world better one smile at a time.

GKF was a transformative experience for me. I When I was planning on joining, I was considering how I would impact the lives of others. Seeing how everyone came together for a singular goal left a far greater impact on my life and my world view than any small contribution I may have made. I am so thankful to have inherited a global family I did not know I had. I miss them dearly and pray that I may join them soon in serving a cause much greater than us.

Zahra Somani

University Student

Since joining the GKF Family, I have gained invaluable experiences during these trips. From assisting doctors to interacting with patients, I have learned much regarding patient care and dental ethics, skills that I truly value as a pre-dental student.These lessons continue to shape my perspective on dentistry and are largely transferable to various experiences back home. I look forward to working with GKF in the future and one day serving these communities as a dental provider.

Cynthia Caballero

Registered Dental Hygienist

Participating in the dental mission with GKF in Skardu, Pakistan was a deeply gratifying experience. Serving underprivileged children, who showed so much gratitude, touched my heart in ways I’ll never forget. The mission reminded me to step outside of my comfort zone, appreciate life more fully, and never take simple things for granted. It was an honor to give back to the community and to be part of something so meaningful.

Being able to help orphan kids everyday for two-weeks is an extraordinary experience that brings out the compassionate and caring side of us. I learned much about empathy, and the power of a smile from a young kid who was scared just moments ago. Seeing the major impact of the little work we did was inspirational. I hope to be able to contribute more in the coming years and I’m thankful for the GKF organization and leadership for this opportunity to help.
