Nazari Digar began as a simple birthday fundraiser more than 6 years ago.
A mother, inspired by her son Safroz, wanted to give back. Living in England, she saw what was possible when children with Down syndrome receive the right support—care, education, and opportunity.
But in Tajikistan, many families face a very different reality.
NO access to healthcare.
NO guidance.
And too often, isolation.
So she decided to change that.
