2024 Fall Fundraiser
We are raising funds to assist with the remodeling and repairs needed for our newly acquired Dar-e-Mehr in Cincinnati, Ohio! These products 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 purchases from this fundraiser will serve a dual charitable purpose:
helping us, ZAKOI, raise the funds to transform our building into our Dar-e-Mehr and Center, and help support these amazing, hardworking entrepreneurs in India!

NOTE: Orders cannot be made directly from this website. To place an order, contact Bakhtavar Desai at bfdesai@aol.com. Thank you for your support!

Who We Are
We are a Zoroastrian non-profit organization spanning the states of Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana.  We strive to spread love, peace, and brotherhood of mankind in our world through our joint practice of Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds.  We value friendship and community, and we hope to share the peaceful teachings of our Prophet Zarathustra with younger generations and people of all backgrounds.
Community
Zoroastrian Kids Camp
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.
Religion Classes/Camp
All classes will be on Sundays, and will be virtual. The classes will begin at Noon, and run until 1:30 pm. We will send out the Zoom invite to join the class a day or two before the class.

ZAKOI 2024 Spring Fundraiser
We have delicious treats to serve for Navroze, and beautiful scarves and Art work for sale in this fundraiser.
Every penny of the profits from your entire order will go to our ZAKOI Worship Center Fund. We need your support once again, so please look at the beautiful array of products from Foods to Art, and buy some things for yourself, or to give as a gift to your friends and family. Please help us spread the word about this fundraiser also!
All orders should be received by 10th February, so I can process all the orders before Navroze in March, for you to enjoy the products during the festive days.
Please click here for the list of products on sale (Yummy Treats, Scarves, and Art), and details on ordering. Thank you!
