WE SPEAK FOR THOSE WHO
CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
The Malaikah Foundation uplifts and empowers the angels of the world—individuals with disabilities, orphans, and those in need—while providing volunteers with a transformative perspective on compassion and service. Through meaningful acts of kindness, we foster inclusion, inspire change, and deepen our collective understanding of humanity.

our story
Malaikah was created for kids, by kids—an initiative born from the hearts of young visionaries.
During their first semester of college, Ammar Ansari founded The Malaikah Foundation alongside his Vice President and close friend, Shahmeer Memon. With the support of Raabee Shamsi and Fahd Ahmed, the four came together to turn a shared dream into reality.
The inspiration behind Malaikah is deeply personal. Ammar envisioned this foundation as a tribute to his younger brother, Hasan Ansari, and children like him.
To us, they are Malaikah—angels who bless our lives with their presence. To us, they are what we call Malaikah—angels in our lives.
As the foundation has evolved, its mission has expanded beyond special needs advocacy to serving the angels of the world, including orphans and other vulnerable communities.
Today, Ammar leads Malaikah’s international initiatives in partnership with the Omair Sana Foundation in Pakistan, while domestic operations are now guided by Zoya Mirajwala, former Director of Operations, and Humza Ansari.
