"Carrying Charles’ Legacy Forward through Compassion, Empowerment & Community Care"
“Charles-Shahnaz Community Care:
A legacy of compassion in action.”
Our Journey & Charles’ Legacy Expansion
Where It All Began
Since 2009, our journey—from Coriander Connections to Charles-Shahnaz Community Care—has been more than a transition. It’s a heartfelt continuation of Charles’ legacy: transforming kitchens into community, stories into skills, and compassion into lasting change.
“A legacy of love, continued with purpose.”
From Kitchens to Communities
“Our work wasn’t just about food — it was about people.”
As Charles and I journeyed through different countries, we discovered that our work wasn’t just about food — it was about people.
It became clear that dignity, self-reliance, and the power of practical skills were at the heart of what we were doing.
What began as supporting home cooks and artisans evolved into empowering small entrepreneurs to build better futures for themselves and their communities.

Charles’ Legacy
Charles’ Legacy — A Life of Joy, Service & Courage
Charles’ kindness, humility, and belief in practical, meaningful service continues to inspire everything we do. His legacy is not just remembered — it’s lived through every life we touch, in every act of empowerment, and every smile we create.
Whether it was lifting others through small gestures or fearlessly turning life’s moments into joyful adventures — like this playful encounter with a shark — Charles taught us that true impact comes with heart, humour, and human connection.
At Charles-Shahnaz Community Care, we don’t just carry his name; we carry his spirit of joyful service, meaningful action, and the courage to uplift lives with dignity.
Our Vision Forward
“Guided by Charles' spirit of joy, service, and courage, we are building inclusive community hubs powered by skill, compassion, and heartfelt action.” Our dream is to nurture a global network of changemakers who believe in empowerment through action.
“Charles’ reflections captured in his book — a legacy of courage and curiosity.”
