Zara Dayani
Founder and President, meds4tots
Zara Dayani, 12, is the president and founder of meds4tots, a charitable organization created to help children in need. At the age of 11, Zara came up with the idea of meds4tots after hearing her parents, both physicians, discuss repeatedly how their patients were having difficulty affording their medications. Zara then asked if sick kids also had the same problems. With that, the idea for meds4tots was born. Driven by a desire to help the less fortunate, Zara wanted to find ways to create real change in her community and beyond.
Zara is a hardworking student at Saint Mary’s Hall, where she has attended classes since the age of three. As a Form 7 student today, she is known among her teachers and classmates for her generosity, leadership, and tireless commitment to making a positive impact.
In Form 5, she was selected among her peers for a Change Maker Project, where she presented her idea to the principal to implement a positive change in the school.
In Form 6, Zara was elected to the Community Service Council and was honored with the Doseum Dream Leaders’ Award in January 2026. This distinction recognizes children who demonstrate extraordinary leadership, service, and meaningful community impact.
In Form 7, Zara was selected to join the National Charity League, a philanthropic organization dedicated to community service, leadership development, and cultural enrichment. Since joining, she has already contributed more than 60 hours of community service and successfully organized and led a canned food drive that collected over 500 cans for the San Antonio Food Bank.
Zara was born and raised in San Antonio and comes from a family of physicians. Following in the footsteps of her parents, grandfather, and great-grandfather, she dreams of becoming a doctor herself someday.
Apart from her philanthropic activities, Zara is a well-rounded young leader who enjoys skiing, swimming, reading, dancing, singing, writing, and playing the piano. She loves spending time with family and friends from Texas to India and approaches every endeavor with passion and compassion.
