Support Aman's mission for peace and social justice
AMAN Trust encourages support in various forms to enrich its role in the field of social welfare and development. We are open to contribution in different ways and ensure remaining transparent for our work and commitment. AMAN invites academicians, scholars, peace activists and members of civil society to share their work and experience.
Donate Now
AMAN's generation of resources and their utilisation is completely transparent and accountable. Though most of our projects are funded by Indian and international donor agencies, our programme on relief and rehabilitation of earthquake victims was almost entirely funded by contributions made by individual donors. You can donate for any specific programme or contribute to a general fund — in either case, we will regularly update you on how your contribution has been utilised. Your contributions are exempted from income tax under section 80G.

Volunteer
There are several ongoing programmes at AMAN where volunteers can offer their services — from assisting AMAN colleagues in documentation, editing and secondary research at the AMAN office, to being part of primary research and field work in an urban or rural area. The exact nature of work responsibilities and duration of volunteership is decided mutually between AMAN and the volunteer, and we reimburse incidental expenses like travel, board and lodging incurred during implementation of our work. Over the years, many interns and volunteers from various regions have studied AMAN's work and how it has affected real lives, contributing valuable research findings and experiences at both the field level and the AMAN office.

Volunteer's Testimonials
“My time with AMAN was very fulfilling both personally and professionally. It enabled me to expand my knowledge and interests both geographically and thematically and the AMAN office itself is a supportive, friendly and stimulating environment to work in.”
Amanda Shah volunteered as a researcher at AMAN between January and July 2006 whilst on sabbatical from her job as a researcher at the Immigration Advisory Service in London. Amanda holds a Masters degree in international human rights and human rights law from the University of London and has particular research interests in policy responses to migratory flows as well as refugee status determinations. Whilst at AMAN, Amanda worked on a policy paper comparing how different countries have responded to the challenge of undocumented migration in the context of national and international human rights obligations, and was involved in the design of a multi-researcher programme examining transborder migrations across India’s borders.

“My experience as an unpaid intern at Aman Public Charitable Trust was challenging and satisfying in many unexpected ways. When I joined the Peaceful Co-existence Portfolio, I began to work on my own projects: I wrote a report of Aman’s Peaceful Co-existence Conference, followed by my own research project on Rachel Corrie and the issues surrounding her death in Rafah.”
Working with people who were so experienced was intimidating at first, but always exciting. Volunteering at Aman and living in India gave me a context in which to study the pressing issues of peace, violence, and social justice, and made me realise how much work is still needed both at home and abroad, and how much I have yet to learn as a member of civil society.

“I interned with Aman during June–July 2009 in order to conduct research in Srinagar on the figure of the Muslim ‘half-widow’ in Kashmir to see how she fits into existing discourses of gender, community and the state.”
As an intern with AMAN, I was able to access their library and documentation facilities as well as engage the civil activist network in Srinagar. AMAN’s Delhi office put me in touch with the head of their health centre in Loalpara village, Baramulla district, who became the mainstay of my research activity. My association with AMAN was instrumental in helping me establish contact with resource persons in Srinagar and obtain relevant literature on the long-term implications of the conflict in Kashmir.
