Foreword
TITLE SPONSOR The Zubin Foundation has taken its charity initiatives to another level. Rather than just treating symptoms, their carefully planned and designed programmes address root causes of social issues and specific challenges faced by the vulnerable communities. Over the years, these initiatives have successfully created sustainable solutions that empower individuals and communities to thrive independently. I am most happy to see the Foundation going from strength to strength to reach its new heights, creating a network of support that uplifts everyone involved and extends far beyond the initial act of giving. I wish Shalini and her team further success in the years to come!
Mrs Purviz R. Shroff, MH Mrs. Shroff along with Rusy & Purviz Shroff Charitable Foundation, which was established in 2017, have been supporting various charities which provide services for the elderly, children, patients with chronic diseases, people with disability as well as the underprivileged communities in Hong Kong, China, India and throughout the world. Their efforts sustain and reinforce the lasting philanthropic values of the Ruttonjees, a Parsee family who left India in 1884 to make Hong Kong their home.

Foreword
THE ZUBIN FOUNDATION Friends, thank you for joining us this evening. Our theme this year is Shaping Futures. Every day, The Zubin Foundation works with children, youth, women and the elderly from Hong Kong's low-income ethnically diverse communities. While every journey is unique, they each share a common hope: A hope for a better future. For our clients, poverty combined with the exclusion from being a racial, religious and linguistic minority, means many suffer alone and are unable to access mainstream services or NGOs. Our mission is to reduce their suffering and provide them with opportunities. We do this by offering services, and also working together with Government and other NGOs to refer out and receive referrals in. The stories you will hear tonight remind us that meaningful change is possible when support, opportunity and a chance to thrive is given. Tonight that is our focus - that the future is brighter when we work together. I am deeply grateful to Auntie Purviz, and the late Uncle Rusy. Because of them, every dollar raised will go directly towards our work. I am also so grateful to our Diamond Sponsors this year: Caravel Group, Lakshmi and Gokul Laoria, our table hosts and individual attendees. To each one of you in this room, thank you for shaping futures. My sincere thanks to Ranoo Wasan, our Fundraising Chair and her Committee- Madhu, Vishal, Nick, Don and Ravi, and to my fabulous team. With gratitude, Shukur,
Shalini Mahtani, MH, MBE The Zubin Foundation

Foreword
FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE As Chair of the Fundraising Committee, it is my pleasure to welcome you to The Zubin Foundation’s Annual Fundraising Dinner 2026. This year’s theme, Shaping Futures, reflects the hope and opportunity that meaningful support can create. Every day, The Zubin Foundation works with children, youth, women and seniors to overcome barriers and build brighter futures. Through counselling, education support, youth development, elder care and community outreach, lives are transformed, and potential is unlocked. This important work is only possible because of the support of people like you. I am deeply grateful to our Title Sponsor, Purviz R. Shroff, MH, and her late husband Rusy M., whose generosity allows 100% of funds raised this evening to go directly towards our programmes and services. My heartfelt thanks also go to Shalini, her dedicated team, and my fellow Fundraising Committee members. Thank you for joining us tonight. Together, we can shape brighter futures. Ranoo Wasan Fundraising Committee

TESTIMONIALS I very much enjoy the elderly activities I participate in at Zubin’s Family Centre. We view the Zubin’s Family Centre as a helpful resource and support centre, as we receive a significant amount of valuable information for elderly people. I attended Cantonese lessons, although I found learning a new language a bit challenging at this age, I liked that I got to meet my friends and learn together. Thanks to the great coordination of elderly sessions by The Zubin Foundation.
Ambar Bahadur 72-year-old, Nepalese man
I have been living in Hong Kong for the past six years and often felt lost, unheard, and emotionally overwhelmed. Coming to The Zubin Foundation was a turning point in my life. The support, guidance, and care I received gave me clarity and strength. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Mira. She listened with patience, understood my situation without judgement, and supported me emotionally. Her kindness, empathy, and dedication gave me confidence and hope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Isa 33-year-old mother of a 4-year-old boy
Receiving The Zubin Foundation Scholarship helped cover my university fees and significantly eased my family’s financial burden. I was able to focus more on my studies and myself, without worrying about finances. The scholarship also connected me to people and mentors, such as William, my Swire mentor, who have been instrumental in my development over the past year.

PLEDGES #1 Happy and Healthy Elderly HK$15,000
Picture: Pyari Gurung, 75, attending Senior Socials at Zubin’s Family Centre
The Zubin Foundation supports elderly individuals experiencing loneliness and uncertainty about the future. What begins as a visit to our weekly Senior Socials gatherings held at 3 locations across Hong Kong evolves into friendship and a renewed purpose. Having faced significant personal and financial challenges, many carry mental burdens quietly into old age. Though each story is different, we help the elderly stay active, connected, and hopeful. In addition to weekly Senior Socials, they receive free counselling, health monitoring and home visits for mobility-impaired or end-of-life individuals. We provide companionship, support and practical assistance. Above all, we help elderly people look forward to tomorrow, knowing they are valued, cared for and not alone. HK$15,000 funds one month of health check-ups for 200 elderly individuals. We aim for 24 months to be covered.

PLEDGES #2 Healing Children and Families HK$10,000
Picture: Shagufta, 38, receipient of multiple services from The Zubin Foundation
The Zubin Foundation supports children and families affected by domestic violence, trauma, and emotional distress. What begins as a call for help from a woman quickly cascades into trauma assistance given to an entire family. Vulnerable children witness conflict and instability, leaving lasting effects on their emotional well-being and development. Every family's circumstances are different, but our Children's Counselling Service helps children process their experiences in a safe and supportive environment. We provide free one-to-one counselling, and support for parents who experience trauma. Above all, we help children and families heal, giving them the opportunity to build a brighter future. HK$10,000 supports one child with 25 counselling sessions and family support for one year. We aim to help 30 children annually.

PLEDGES #3 Future Proofing the Next Gen HK$5,000
Picture: Youth receiving soft skills and personal development training
Education, skills building, and employment are essential to breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Many ethnically diverse young people have talent and ambition but lack access to training and opportunities that prepare them for a rapidly changing world of work. As technology continues to evolve, we are equipping young people with practical skills in areas such as AI, financial literacy and more. Through training, mentorship and career-readiness programmes, we help them build confidence, expand their opportunities and prepare for sustainable employment. Above all, we help young people develop the skills needed to shape their futures and contribute to Hong Kong's future workforce. HK$5,000 helps provide 5 youth with training to update their skills. We want to provide this support for 50 youth.
