The NGO was established in July 2009, in the memory of Keyaan, the firstborn of the organization's founders Ali Muaz and Fathimath Hishmath Faiz. He was born with a congenital heart condition that eventually led to his untimely passing at the mere age of two and a half months.
On September 17, 2017, Tiny Hearts was elected a member of the Geneva-based World Heart Federation, which is a global NGO committed to uniting its members in the fight against heart disease and stroke, with a focus on low-and-middle-income countries.
