In every generation, there are people whose lives leave an indelible mark—not only because of the successes they attain, but because of the lives they touch, uplift, and transform. One such inspiring figure is our Nasrin Jafargholizadeh, a woman whose nearly four-decade-long journey through entrepreneurship, leadership, and now community service has set her apart as a beacon of hope and compassion.

Born with a heart full of empathy and an unyielding drive for excellence, Nasrin carved out an exceptional path in business at a time when the odds were stacked against women, especially those from diverse backgrounds. With visionary foresight, she built a reputable presence in the business world that spanned almost 40 years. Her legacy in business is characterized by integrity, perseverance, and a deep-rooted belief in the power of resilience.

Now retired, Nasrin has not slowed down. Instead, she has chosen a new chapter—one that aligns with her lifelong philosophy: to give back, to serve, and to elevate. Her decision to join DuMonde Helping Hands Foundation as one of our Trustees is not only an honour for us, but a transformative moment for our entire community. Her passion for service and her dedication to helping those in need resonate deeply with the foundation’s mission to empower lives through compassion, action, and equity.

Nasrin’s presence promises to usher in a new era of wisdom, love, and strategic insight into our programs. She believes strongly in sustainable change—change that starts small, but is consistent and powerful enough to ripple across generations. Her motto is simple yet profound:

“Changing lives by transforming lives—step by step.”

Whether she is mentoring a young immigrant woman, organizing food bank distributions, Pop-Up Cultural Food Drives or advocating for senior care, Nasrin brings warmth and clarity that inspire everyone around her. Her leadership style is collaborative, inclusive, and nurturing—traits that are essential in community building. Her door is always open, her ears always listening, and her heart always beating for those who are struggling and striving.

We believe that with Nasrin’s mentorship and direction, DuMonde Helping Hands Foundation will continue to grow not only in reach but in impact. Her life is a testament to what it means to be of service—to be a force for good that leaves no one behind.

Please join us in welcoming Nasrin Jafargholizadeh, our Honourable Trustee, a woman of honour, a friend of the community, and a voice of transformation.
