Gulshan and Pyarali Nanji

Canada

Gulshan and Pyarali Nanji were born in Uganda and fled to Canada with their four children in 1972 in the face of persecution. Respected and admired within and beyond their Ismaili community, the Nanji family’s legacy of philanthropy is truly remarkable. Motivated by a desire to give back to their adopted country of Canada, the Nanji family has donated millions of dollars to causes that are closest to their hearts.
