Since
2012
An Initiative Touch Your Soul (AITYS) was founded by Madhu Chowdhry in 2012. We are an all-volunteer charitable trust that aims to help the underpri Read morevileged access a better life. Poverty is a phenomenon that is complexly woven into the socio-economic fabric in Uttarakhand. Our goal is to provide education sponsorship for children, infrastructure support for schools, and free medical camps for villagers.
Issue
After visiting Uttarakhand in 2008, Madhu realized that villagers in rural mountanious areas were some of the most impoverished in the country, and were also lacking access to education and basic healthcare due to the region's distance from major cities.
Action
Determined to raise the standard of living in the area, Madhu started "An Initiative - Touch Your Soul (AITYS)" in 2012 with the aim to help residents reach a level of self-sufficiency. Since its inception, AITYS has conducted 68 medical camps across 337 villages, treated more than 15788 people in the region (no medical camps were conducted in 2020-2021 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic) and completed 5,160 annual education sponsorships for students. Our work is primarily focussed in the area of Pauri Garhwal of Uttarakhand State. The epicentre is in the region between Devprayag and Pauri. At present, AITYS today supports 40% of higher secondary schools in this region.
