About Al-Suffah Educational & Welfare Trust
Al-Suffah is a Society founded for the educational provision of persons mainly of the village. A teacher by profession, Aas Mohammad had a great love and acumen for teaching. During his free time he would teach those children who could ill afford to pay and many a successful persons fondly remember his as their loving teacher with an extremely simple but charismatic personality. He had a great desire to give the gift of education to the children of the village where living conditions were extremely tough and education limited and at long distances. Inspired by the zeal of his mother, Aas Mohammad founded Al-Suffah to bring quality education to the children of Bihar.
Our journey began in the year 2021. We are an registered under the Registrar of Firms, Societies and Chits, Government of Bihar. Our organization is working on providing vocational training for youth, especially women, organizing awareness programs regarding health-related issues and at the same time helping slum and village women to raise their living conditions by providing alternative source of income through our activities.Bihar is a natural disaster-prone state. The bulk of its population is scattered over remote areas. There is an urgent need for support for rural population in areas of education, public health and skill generation. Al-Suffah provides such support throughout the state.
Apart from concentrating on quality education Al-Suffah is also actively involved in other spheres namely health and environment. It is working actively under the guidance of WHO in its TB eradication programme in and around the villages of Araria and in time to come also in the interior or remote villages of Uttarakhand. Our NGO was one of the organizations helping in the rebuilding of Uttarakhand after the floods devastated the state in 2013. We were awarded a letter of commendation by the Chief Minister of Bihar as part of our efforts to impart training to women of villages effected by floods. We have created 25 SHG’s (self-help groups) till date as part of various Government and Private Funded Programs. Overall nearly 2200 people have been trained through these training programs.
