ZAKOI Fundraiser for our Prayer Hall
We are raising funds to assist with the remodeling and repairs, especially
the making of the Prayer Hall, which we need for our newly acquired
ZAKOI Dar-e-Mehr in Cincinnati, Ohio! Please see these PICTURES that
will tell give you an idea of our Dar-e-Mehr. We have the drawings ready,
prepared by our Zoroastrian architect, Cyrus Rivetna, and also have a local
contractor willing to work on this project, but we don’t have enough funds to
move on. We have to raise $400,000 to be able to complete this task!
These products for sale in this Fundraiser are made by Zoroastrians
around the world, and many of them are made by Zoroastrian
entrepreneurs (mainly women) in Navsari, Surat, and other towns in
Gujarat, India. Selling these handmade/homemade products is their source
of livelihood. Your purchase will serve a dual charitable purpose:
It will help ZAKOI raise the funds to transform our building into our
Dar-e-Mehr and Center, and help support these amazing, hardworking
entrepreneurs in India!

Every year the Desai family hosts a Zoroastrian Youth Camp. Kids from our own community and other Zoroastrian communities around the country attend the camp. These kids spend a week together learning about our religion, enjoying social activities, and forming lifelong friendships with their fellow Zoroastrians. If you are interested in having your kid(s) join us, please see the contact info at the end of the page.
