Vision & Mission
A self-reliant India where no one is left behind.
Regardless of where they are born. Five fronts, one aim — and a set of promises we are willing to be held to.
What we are aiming at
A destination, the road that reaches it, and the method that keeps us honest on the way.
Our Vision — the destination
Bolster capacity and optimize resources to deliver on the organization's holistic development plan with a focus on equality and inclusion, accountability & transparency, and sustainable growth.
Our Mission — the road there
Collaborate with socially responsible global citizens to harness the power of collective action and make a positive impact on the lives of marginalized communities.
Our Objective — how we get there
Aahwahan Foundation was founded in 2009 by a team of like-minded individuals with a commitment to eradicate poverty. We believe in community development: the socioeconomic growth and wellbeing of people are so interconnected that it is not feasible to ignore any one of them — so we have teamed with a wide cross section of people to bring about a transformation in the rural environment.
The management of Aahwahan is deeply committed to providing the basic requirements of life to every human being, and facilitate the development of overall potential — physically, mentally, and spiritually. The holistic development of every person would contribute to the overall health of society and promote social wellbeing.

The World Is One Family
Five fronts, one aim
The vision is one sentence. Delivering it takes five distinct programmes, each run where the need is greatest.
Education
Classrooms, teachers and learning material carried to the children the school system misses.
Health
Doctors, medicines and dignity brought to the doorstep of communities far from any hospital.
Environment
Plantation and water-body revival drives planted, and kept alive, by local hands.
WomenEmpowerment
Collectives, savings groups and skilling that turn training into an actual livelihood.
CommunityDevelopment
Water, sanitation and infrastructure decided with the village, not delivered to it.
Our commitments
The promises that hold us accountable.
