The Story
The AHS foundation is a charity dedicated to saving lives, improving conditions, and rebuilding communities and infrastructures in areas affected by natural disasters. We are committed to providing training initiatives that empower local communities; thus enabling them to rise out of poverty and despair and once again become a self sustaining and thriving community. Currently we provide vital support to communities devastated by the 2005 Pakistan Earthquake, offering aid for over 12,000 people in the Kashmir region. The village of Noon Bagla is the centre of our training and redevelopment proposals.
It was set up by Nadeem Shah in memory of his late father Ahmed Hassan Shah. Chaired by Nadeem with the aid of a progressive Board of Trustees the Foundation is now actively engaged in fund raising. Nadeem travelled to the devastated area almost immediately after the disastrous earthquake in October 2005. This life-changing experience convinced him of the need to establish the AHS Foundation and to make a permanent and realistic improvement to the lives of the community and people in Noon Bagla, a village left devastated
by the earthquake.
