Fouzia was born in Calcutta, India. After the partition of India in 1947 her father decided to move their family to East Pakistan for a better living. In 1971, war broke out because East Pakistan and West Pakistan wanted to separate. The war caused great devastation in the country which created hardships for the people. Therefore, Fouzia’s family decided to move to Venezuela in 1975 for better job opportunities. Due to political unrest and economic problems in Venezuela, Fouzia and her husband decided
to join her family in the United States of America. Fouzia is honored to share her life stories with her Rotary family.

She has 2 sons, one daughter, one stepdaughter, and 3 grandchildren.
