What began as a humble effort by a group of students from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in 2015–2016 soon grew into a larger movement of service and compassion. Moved by the harsh reality that quality education remained out of reach for many, these young changemakers started collecting small donations from their hostels, neighbourhoods, and acquaintances. With those modest contributions, they funded the education of underprivileged students, provided career counselling, and offered free coaching, all without any formal structure or recognition.
In 2017, this shared effort took its first formal shape with the establishment of The Aligarh Youth Society, giving the growing group a platform to continue serving students and communities while staying rooted in the same spirit of volunteerism and compassion.
Over the years, despite personal challenges and evolving career paths, their commitment never faded. In 2024, that unwavering spirit found a new name: AEHSAS Foundation, where A, E, H, SA, S stand for Awareness, Education, Health, Sustainable Advancement, Sanitisation.
Born out of compassion and driven by purpose, AEHSAS is more than an NGO, it's a growing movement dedicated to uplifting lives and restoring dignity. While education remains at our heart, our mission now extends to healthcare, environmental awareness, skill development, and beyond, with a powerful vision that has evolved from “every child deserves a chance” to “everyone deserves a chance.”
