NANJI Mawji |
Santok after marriage moved to Poona, India. Most of her grandchildren should still be living in this area, and with Globalisation and technology, generations after me will find her great grand children and complete the family tree. The only clue we have is that the sisters Marium Daya and Santok both lived in Poona and had close family contact. |

MUSA RAMJI Sherbanu |
Musa Ramji was the second eldest son of Ramji Jivraj. He studied in Nairobi under the supervision of his uncle Rahim Jivraj. Later he joined the family business with his father in Kisii. After his marriage, he realized that the family business was not thriving to absorb all the members of the family who joined the business, so he moved to Kisumu with his young family. He had a very limited capital to start a new business in Kisumu, so he worked for his uncles, Rahim and Karim Jivraj to handle the purchases of cotton buds in the rural areas of Kisumu. Every week he would ride on his bicycle long distances in the growing areas of Nyanza Province. In 1940's he accumulated enough capital to start his business in Kisumu, first a retail outlet & then a wholesale business. He helped his family members from Kisii to settle in Kisumu and by 1950 all the brothers had their businesses in Kisumu. He was a leading fishnet supplier in Nyanza Province, until he retired from that business in 1978. By that time the family had set up a manufacturing paint business in Nairobi under the brand name of Wyco Paints. He emigrated to Canada in 1983 to join the family businesses in Canada and lived in Calgary until he passed away in 2004. |

SHARIFF Gulshan |
Haiderali Ramji Charania moved to Belgium Congo (now Rwanda) with his wife in 1960, after receiving a Firman from Hazar Imam to move there. His activities in the capital Kigali were Bakery, Hardware, and then with his sons, Soap manufacturing, Cooking Oil Refining, Welding gases entrapment, Paint manufacturing, Biscuit manufacturing, Coffee processing, Foreign Exchange Bureau and Mineral water bottling. After the war in Rwanda in 1994 most of these Investments paid high dividends. But, in 1998 he decided to sell most of his enterprises and moved toKenya. In Kenya he and his sons had already purchased Crown Berger Paints and Unibuilt Tin packaging Industries. His family also established in Mozambique, Merec, Wheat Processing Mill to produce different types of Flour, Oceanic Soap manufacturing and purchased Robbialac Berger Tintas Paint manufacturing. He felt his greatest achievement was to have the donation accepted by Hazar Imam for the Jivraj Health Sciences Library in honour of his parents, although his family had made other size able donations during his time to other Imamat Institutions and Institutions connected to the name of the Imam. He finally succumbed to diabetes (like his father), and before he passed away he had both legs amputated below his knee. He regretted that his family had been too poor after the death of his father to allow him to complete his education, and thus always pushed his children and grandchildren to get the most education they could. As he believed, in knowledge one could find the path to Allah. |
