Every rupee accounted for
Every decision answerable. How Aahwahan Foundation is governed, audited and held to account — by a structure that sits deliberately apart from the people running the programmes.

One chain of accountability
From the members who hold the mission in trust to the village where the work lands — and back again.
General Body
The Trust's members — its highest authority. They safeguard the mission and elect the board.
Governing Board
Trustees who set strategy, approve budgets, oversee compliance and hold management to account.
Executive Team
The leadership that runs day-to-day operations — turning strategy into programmes on the ground.
Programme Teams
Field coordinators, volunteers and community leaders who deliver the work, community by community.
Four principles we are held to
Not aspirations — each one has a mechanism behind it, and each mechanism is auditable.
Accountability
Every decision, rupee and outcome is answerable — to our board, our donors and the communities we serve.
Transparency
Our records are kept openly, so anyone can see how support becomes work on the ground.
Independent oversight
A governing structure separate from day-to-day management sets the standards and checks them.
Ethical stewardship
Funds are used only for the purposes intended, with strict conflict-of-interest rules.
Registered, compliant and audit-ready
A registered Trust established in 2009 in Bengaluru, holding valid 80G and 12A registrations and a Bronze certification (2023) — so contributions qualify cleanly under Schedule VII of the Companies Act, and every rupee is tracked against the project it funds.
Where we are registered
A registered non-profit Trust with a head office in Bengaluru and two regional offices in Odisha.
