About Us

I am Zayan Kajani and I am the founder of Lost and Found Heroes. I am 11 years-old and as far as I can remember, I have always had a love for giving and being mindful of those in need. Previously, I have been involved in providing education supplies for (approximately) 500 students in Antioch, CA I have also raised funds and provided computers to refugee families coming to California.

While volunteering monthly with refugees, I realized how important and difficult even having the basic necessities can be for some. I also realized how costly items can be for organizations that want to help. I am hoping that Lost and Found Heroes will make a difference in reducing that gap by taking lost and found items from schools and getting them into the hands of those less fortunate. I plan to use my time off from school and any half-days to collect from “Hero” Schools. I hope to help schools by making it easier for them to solve their lost and found problem and hope to help organizations that regularly work with members of our community that are in need. I see my role as a connector building a bridge and making the world a better place. It also makes me very happy that the entire process will not be adding to our carbon footprint and will allow for the environment to be sustained for future generations by reducing, reusing, saving energy, and saving money.
