On June 26th, 2010, Fajr Javid drowned during a family vacation on a camping trip. Fajr was an intelligent, caring, and lively nine-year old girl from Queens, New York. Until her death, Fajr remained thoughtful of others. As she had given away her own life vest to a younger swimmer right before her death. Fajr’s dream was to help the people she loved the most, children by becoming a Pediatrician. Fajr left behind many people: Family, Friends, and Teachers who were overcome by this tragic loss of a young life. Today, her loved ones try to keep her message going strong, and the Fajr Memorial Foundation helps them do so. The Goal of FMF is raise awareness to the large numbers of cases of drowning people within the United States. Every day approximately nine people lose their lives by drowning, six of whom are minorities.
FMF strives to break barriers, whether it is a religious observance where males and females can’t swim together or financial problems, to help people learn how to swim. The Fajr Javid Foundation will help boys and girls learn how to swim, separately, so that the tragic loss that the Javid family had to face does not haunt the lives of other families. FMF works with the support of a network of family and friends that love Fajr Javid. FMF hopes to help make Fajr’s dream of helping children come true.
