Project Restore began as a grassroots effort to restore dignity for people experiencing homelessness — built entirely through Hamza Faik’s part-time janitor wages. What started on a small porch with boxes of supplies has grown into a mission with real, measurable impact across Massachusetts.

Hundreds of hygiene kits have already been assembled and delivered to vulnerable individuals. Project Restore is growing from a one-person effort into a movement built on dignity, discipline, and community responsibility.

Project Restore’s work has already earned recognition from local leadership, including an official Certificate of Recognition from the City of Revere for service to the community.

Every element of this initiative — logistics, planning, budgeting, outreach, assembly, and delivery — is handled personally by Hamza Faik. No staff, no grants, no donations, no outside support. Project Restore’s impact is powered by one person’s discipline, responsibility, and belief that real change begins with doing the work yourself.
