Our Mission

On April 14, 2011, a devastating fire overtook a building in the Ménilmontant neighborhood of Paris's 20th arrondissement, taking the lives of four ambitious students studying from around the world: Jasmine Jahanshahi, Louise Brown, Lise Aseberg and Felicia Bolm. The fire spread quickly, and without the warning of an alarm or a smoke detector or the safe passage of a fire escape, the students fell to their death. Another international student, Grace Flott, was seriously injured.

Unfortunately, tragic apartment fires are not uncommon in neighborhoods like Ménilmontant- congested urban corridors mostly populated by lower-income residents such as students and immigrants living in century-old wooden structures with little or no fire safety regulations. Such fires present a major risk to American students studying abroad who are accustomed to stricter fire regulations.

Fortunately, the tools required to safely escape a fire are even more accessible and affordable with improved technology. Jasmine's family and friends established JUSTICE in her memory so that we can distribute fire escape ladders, smoke detectors, and fire prevention education to neighborhoods worldwide!
