Dear Friends and Partners of the Jariyah Foundation Inc.,
Eid Mubarak! As we approach the blessed days of Eid al-Adha, we reflect on the spirit of sacrifice, gratitude, and service that defines this sacred occasion, values that are at the very heart of the Jariyah Foundation’s mission. May Allah accept our deeds, bless our families and communities, and continue to open doors of goodness for all those we serve. Taqabbal Allahu Minna wa Minkum.
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to share an important announcement regarding a transition in our organizational leadership, effective immediately.
Dr. Rohany Nayan, who has served with great distinction as Chief Executive Officer of the Jariyah Foundation Inc., will be transitioning into the role of Director of Education. In this capacity, she will lead the design and implementation of the Foundation’s educational programs, in full alignment with our mission and strategic vision.
The Board wishes to formally recognize and express its deepest gratitude for Dr. Rohany’s exemplary service as CEO. Under her leadership, the Foundation has grown significantly in both scope and impact, strengthening its commitment to supporting vulnerable communities and promoting dignity, health, and self-sufficiency around the world. Her contributions have been immeasurable, and her legacy of dedicated service will continue to inspire and guide our work for years to come.
Succeeding Dr. Rohany as Chief Executive Officer is Sr. Rayda Edding, Co-Founder of the Jariyah Foundation and our former Fundraising Director. Sr. Rayda brings a distinguished record of humanitarian work, business leadership, and community engagement to this role. A dedicated student of Islamic knowledge and an active participant in Da’wah and Islamic education, she has supported multiple non-profit organizations and served communities across more than 56 countries.
Her wealth of experience and deep alignment with the Foundation’s values position her exceptionally well to lead Jariyah in fulfilling its mission and expanding its global impact.
