“The Parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears, and each ear hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: and He knoweth all things”.
(Holy Quran, Al-Baqarah-261)
ABOUT US
The Ta'awun Trust was established in 1988 by a small group of concerned citizens who were deeply worried about the state of poverty, ignorance and poor health of large sections of society. They were also concerned about disharmony in the nation. The Ta'awun Trust was on the anvil during early 80s and formally registered in September 1988 in New Delhi under the Founder Chairmanship of a great philanthropist and academician Dr. Mohammad Manzoor Alam. The Trust was established for advancement of education in arts, sciences, including medical and health education, to promote and develop cottage industries and agriculture, to encourage higher and professional education and to extend financial and other help to vulnerable sections of society, especially those regularly affected by natural calamities like floods, famines, earthquakes, hurricanes, landslide, etc., and those who have often suffered from communal disharmony caste strife, sectarian violence as also to look after destitute, the
sick, orphans, the disabled, the aged etc.
VISION
The Ta’awun Trust envisages a wide expansion of its relief and rehabilitation activities from the present coverage of about a dozen states to all of the 28 states and 8 Union Territories of India by 2025. It also plans to expand its educational activities of providing scholarships and academic guidance to skill development training for young men and women. The Trust wants to institutionalize its extensive experience in running primary health services to more focused work in this area by establishing permanent clinics and mobile clinics serving underserved slum areas of Delhi. It has also a plan in advanced stage for building a university on Delhi’s border for which land has been acquired as well as a blueprint produced with the help of experts in this field.

Our Reach....
On a rough estimate, we have reached over one lakh people during more than 20 years of our service to society. We have effected a subtle, but visible, change in the level of wellbeing, health and happiness in segments of society we have served.
Most of the relief has gone into addressing the immediate needs of the victims of natural and man-made calamities. However, our long-term work like building shelters and providing scholarships has had long-lasting effects. As our shelters have (after seasonal repairs by beneficiaries) endured for years, our scholarship program has brought stability and prosperity to many households run by successful men and women who got higher education with the support of our funds and got good jobs in government and private sector
