Who We Are

Fitrah started in 2018 after our Founder, Nadia Niazi met a 60-year-old homeless woman that faced 19 years on the streets. Determined to help her, she grew frustrated with the complex system and knew something had to be done to prevent so many vulnerable youth from heading towards the same path. She saw a solution. Give them work with a support system. She donated her online eCommerce business for these vulnerable youth to take charge of so they can learn to take charge of their own lives.

What We Do

Fitrah is a non-profit social enterprise that empowers young adults aging out of the foster-care system or who are court-involved, homeless, or out of school. We pay our youth to run and manage the Fitrah online business, and in the process give them the confidence and skills needed to envision and enact positive goals for a successful future. Combining real-world experience and increasing responsibility in a work environment while imposing high expectations and one-on-one mentoring is a recipe for success. Kids are then able to break through barriers they thought were impenetrable and come out the other side as contributing members of our community with a bright future.

We also provide them with mentorship in independent living and financial literacy skills.
