Our Story

Kind Hearts San Diego knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. Back in 2016, our founder Hajar Rochdi-Krim got involved in the process of welcoming Syrian refugees to San Diego, followed by SIVs from Iraq and Afghanistan. Her commitment and dedication to welcoming newcomers emerged to new levels in the late months of 2021 following the emergency evacuations of Afghans that were resettled in San Diego. She decided to take Kind Hearts San Diego a step further by joining the Non-Profit organizations realm. By working together, we can overcome our challenges much more efficiently.
