About
Founded on September of 2018, Al Barro Foundation – a non-profit organization, was established after major humanitarian concerns were observed in several central American countries as well as the greater Los Angeles area by the organization’s founder and Chairperson Ms. Najoi Jabali along with members of her family and several volunteers of the foundation. Identifying the lack for basic needs in marginalized communities pertaining to shelter, clothing, nutrition, education and medicine – Al Barro Foundations aim is to do the utmost in filling these gaps through the generous support of patrons, sponsors, donors and volunteers.
Since its founding Al Barro Foundation has been able to implement several long-lasting humanitarian initiatives addressing the needs of these communities. The foundation also holds an annual Gala dinner drawing upon our local Los Angeles based community and volunteers to contribute towards achieving these humanitarian projects.
Mission Statement
“He who is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and HE will repay his deeds.”
Proverbs 19:17
“Those who spend in charity will be richly rewarded.”
Quran 75:10
Within the beliefs of our common Abrahamic faiths we’ve decided to name our charitable foundation
“Al Barro” which comes from the Arabic word الْبَرُّ , when translated to English literally means:
“The Source of All Goodness, The Righteous, The One who is Kind”
…And so, you will see the main part of our mission statement is in the name of our foundation. Therefore, Al Barro Foundation and through the generous support it harnesses from its many volunteers, patrons, partners and donors is to;
Be kind, gracious, righteous and a source for goodness to all those
in need, that we are able to help by providing very much needed services that
would otherwise not be available to underprivileged families, children, the
elderly and sick. As well as immediate-action initiatives for disaster relief.

In November of 2020 Hurricane Iota devastated Nicaragua and the region with massive floods, landslides and storm surges whipping out whole towns. With many casualties and thousands of traumatized and newly displaced peoples, Al Barro Foundation with its team of volunteers and donors sprung into action by responding to this natural disaster with a shipping container full of emergency relief such as non-perishable food items, clothing, hygiene and medical supplies. Care packages of these items were handed out to individuals and families in the devastated parts of the country to help ease their suffering and aid in their wellbeing.
Al Barro Foundation in collaboration with Dr Avinash Mondkar M.D. Interventionist Cardiologist at Cedars Sinai of Los Angeles are currently traveling to Nicaragua in August of this year (2022) to deliver and treat 50 patients from the ages of 27 till 90 years, who suffer from cardiac health issues with life saving Pacemakers. These medical procedures will take place at Manolo Morales Public Hospital.
