Our Team

Toheed Fatima Ali

President, CEO and Founder

My name is Toheed Fatima Ali – or Fatima. I’m a medical student originally from Ontario, Canada. The one aspect that has always remained constant is my need to help people. I’ve always had this strong-willed desire to leave the world as a better place; when I was younger, I felt this task was impossible, as many things were not in my control. However, with age, I realized that it was not; this was why I started dedicating my life to medicine. Moreover, the idea of wanting to help as many people as possible was how the Purus Foundation came to be. This foundation is solely present to help future children establish a better life for themselves. We want to be able to provide whatever items someone needs to be able to succeed. Money should not be the reason why equal education is not achieved. Moreover, the societal importance of money should not be something kids should deal with during their young developing years.  The prime years of childhood establish how we end up being throughout our lives, I’ve been lucky to have a fantastic childhood and development however several people fall short solely due to the expenses of this world. Together, my colleagues and I have aimed to help sets of places that we think we could help. All children deserve equality at the bare minimum when it comes to education. Our goal is to try to make that as possible as we can by whatever means.
