ASIAN FOUNDATION FOR HELP
(AFH) charity No. 289648, founded in
1983, is a UK based main Asian
organisation with over two decades of
service to humanity… Run by a dedicated
and devoted board of trustees and
volunteers, AFH has given a new hope
and future to thousands of people all over
the world.
The main aim of AFH is eradication of
blindness, poverty and disease. It has
conducted hundreds of eye camps. It has
funded many projects for AIDS, T.B.,
Cancer and Polio. Its member has
adopted nearly 50 young, poor and needy
children from rural backgrounds for their
education and well being.
AFH raises its revenues by direct
collections, organising fund raising
Kathas, art & music, cultural shows, and
many other similar activities involving
community directly.
We use our funds carefully. Our
administrative costs are even less than
one-quarter per cent. Most of the routine
work is done free bu our volunteers.
Every charity, big or small, needs
funds to distribute amongst the donors. Our
pocket is as deep as donors make it. Hence,
we need all the financial help you can give
us. We have devised many schemes to suit
your interest and circumstances. For
example by just giving only Five Pounds per
month by direct debit, one eye operation
can be done; one T.B. patient can be
treated; by giving Eleven Pounds per
month, Cow Protection, Leprosy, Cancer,
Polio, child adoption and many other similar
projects can be started. With only £ 301/- ,
we can organise 50 eye operations. Your
money goes a long way with us.
YOU WILL RARELY FIND AN ORGANISATION WHICH OPERATES ON
“ZERO” EXPENSES AND WHERE 100% OF ALL DONATIONS AND OTHER
INCOME GO TOWARDS CHARITABLE CAUSES.
ASIAN FOUNDATION FOR HELP IS ONE SUCH ORGANISATION
OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS, THE TRUSTEES HAVE WORKED DAY AND
NIGHT (OFFICE BEING THEIR BRIEF CASES) TO MAKE THIS INSTITUTION ONE
OF THE PREMIER ASIAN FOUNDATION ORGANSATION AND WE MUST GIVE
DUE CREDIT TO THE TRUSTEES.
THE NEED FOR CHARITABLE WORK HAS NOW BECOME GLOBAL. ALL
