Faraaz Hossain Foundation

Faraaz Hossain passed away during the terrorist attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery, on July 1, 2016, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Being a Muslim Bangladesh, he was asked to leave by the terrorists, but Faraaz chose to stay back and fight to protect his two dear friends; an American-born Bangladeshi and an Indian of the Hindu faith. Invigorated by Faraaz's sacrifice and his invincible spirit of courage, friendship and humanity, we are a community with the vision to pave a brighter future. Breaking past man-made boundaries such as race, religion or nationality, the Faraaz Hossain Foundation aims to spread the indomitable will of living by one’s values and doing what is right by ourselves and those around us, without fearing consequences. With Faraaz in our hearts, we move forward with our mission to change one life at a time, spreading smiles among those around us; instilling the spirit of courage, friendship and humanity in every life we touch so that Faraaz may remain in our hearts for generations to come. We Are Faraaz.
