Norma Nashed founded the non-profit charitable organization Reaching Hearts for Kids (RHK) in 1999, which now reaches out to over 2,500 destitute children in 13 of the world's poorest countries. RHK exists to provide shelter, health care, food, and basic educational support for usually orphaned or abandoned kids in struggling countries around the world.

Nashed has partnered the project named "The Southern Africa Community Empowerment Cook-stove Project" with an established organization, ECHO Aid Australia in conjunction with Australia's World Relief Overseas Aid Fund. This project aims to replace traditional charcoal-burning cooking devices with modern, fuel-efficient, cook stoves made of stainless steel. German-made cook stoves eliminate the need for African families to buy expensive charcoal cooking fuel. They require only small, relatively inexpensive sticks or small pieces of wood. Sponsors estimate that for every 12 stoves placed, a new local job will be created. The ultimate beneficiaries, they believe, are the children who may benefit from educational opportunities because of greater family savings combined with income from job opportunities.
