Aman Foundation Delhi – Our Journey of Walking With People

How It All Started

If you’ve ever lived in Delhi, you know it’s a city of contrasts. On one side you’ll find glittering malls and on the other, kids at traffic lights selling balloons just to earn a meal. Every day we passed those kids. And honestly, we couldn’t just look away anymore.

That’s when Aman Foundation began. Not in a fancy office, not with big donations, but with a group of us saying, “Let’s just start. Even if it’s one child, one family, one life.”

And we did. A borrowed room, a few mats, some books… that’s where the story of Aman Foundation truly began.

What We Believe In

We don’t believe in charity as much as we believe in dignity. People don’t need pity — they need opportunities.

Our dream is simple:

• Kids should study, not work.
• Families should get healthcare without fearing how to pay.
• Women should have the strength, skills, and space to decide their own lives.

That’s what keeps us moving, every single day.

Education – The First Step Toward Change

Walk through any slum in Delhi and you’ll see kids collecting plastic bottles or selling small items. That sight is heartbreaking. Why should they be denied the chance that other children take for granted?

So we opened small learning centers. Sometimes just one room with mats on the floor, sometimes an open space under a shade. Nothing fancy. But to those kids, it’s like magic.

Neha is one of them. She used to sell roses at Connaught Place. Quiet, shy, always looking down. Now she reads stories, writes neatly, and even helps her younger brother with homework. The day she told us she wants to be a teacher, we all clapped and cried at the same time. That’s the kind of change education brings — not just in books, but in dreams.

Healthcare – Because Health Shouldn’t Depend on Money

Here’s the reality: in many parts of Delhi, people don’t go to doctors until things get really bad. Why? Because they’re scared of the bills. And sometimes, it’s too late by then.

That’s where we step in. Our free health camps bring doctors and medicines straight to the communities. Under a tent, in a school building, wherever possible.

One time in Seelampur, a little boy came with what his mother thought was a stubborn cough. Our doctors found out it was tuberculosis. We immediately got him treated. His mother held our hands with tears in her eyes, saying, “You didn’t just treat him, you saved my world.” Moments like these stay with you forever.

Women Empowerment – Strong Women, Strong Families

We’ve seen it again and again: when women grow stronger, entire families rise.

That’s why Aman Foundation runs tailoring classes, computer training, and even handicraft workshops. But it’s not just about skills. It’s about confidence. It’s about women feeling like they can stand tall.

Like Rukhsana. She worked as a domestic helper. After our tailoring program, she started stitching clothes. Now she runs a tiny unit with two other women. She pays for her kids’ school with her own earnings. She once told us, “For the first time, I feel I have an identity.” Those words are worth more than any certificate.

Standing Together in Every Crisis

We don’t just stop at education, health, or skills. Life throws challenges, and communities need support.

During the COVID lockdowns, we saw hunger everywhere. Roads empty, but lines of families waiting for food. Our team distributed over 10,000 ration kits. Sometimes walking for kilometers, sometimes delivering door-to-door. It wasn’t easy, but every kit meant one more family slept without hunger that night.

We also organize cleanliness drives, tree plantations, and youth training programs. Because development isn’t just one thing — it’s everything working together.

Why People Trust Aman Foundation

We often hear this from families: “You don’t just come once for photos. You stay with us.” That’s probably why people trust us.

• We’re present on the ground, not just on paper.
• We keep things transparent — donations are accounted for, and we share updates.
• We look at the whole picture: education, healthcare, women empowerment, livelihood.

For us, trust is everything. Without it, nothing works.

How You Can Help

If you’re reading this, chances are you already care. And that’s half the battle. Here are ways you can join hands with us:

• Donate: Even a small amount makes a big difference. A few hundred rupees can buy books for a child.
• Volunteer: Teach, guide, or simply spend time with kids. Believe us, they’ll teach you more than you expect.
• CSR Partnerships: If you’re part of a company, collaborate with us to expand impact.
• Spread the Word: Share our stories, talk about our work. Awareness is powerful.

You don’t need to move mountains. Just a little effort goes a long way.

Real Stories, Real Voices

• “My daughter is in school now. I never thought I’d see this day.” – A mother from Trilokpuri
• “I came to volunteer for two weeks. It’s been six months, and I don’t want to leave.” – Rahul, volunteer
• “Our CSR work with Aman Foundation has been the most meaningful project we’ve done.” – Corporate partner

Our Goals Ahead

We’ve come far, but there’s so much more to do. By 2026, we want to:

• Educate 5,000 children in Delhi.
• Open a community health center.
• Launch a support fund for women entrepreneurs.
• Train youth in digital and job-ready skills.

It’s a big dream, but so was starting Aman Foundation. And here we are.

Closing Thoughts – Together is the Only Way

Aman Foundation is not just a Delhi-based NGO. It’s a family of people — volunteers, supporters, and communities — who believe change is possible.

We’ve seen it with our own eyes: a child’s first day in school, a mother earning her own income, a family receiving healthcare they thought was out of reach. These are not just numbers. These are lives.

And if you ask us what keeps us going, the answer is simple: hope. Hope that together, we can create a Delhi where no one is left behind.

So, come be a part of it. Because change isn’t about them or us. It’s about all of us.
