About Us

Aaghaz Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2004 by journalist Mazhar Farooqui and his friends in Lucknow with just Rs 2000 and one needy student.
Our Work

For over a decade, we have impacted thousands of children all over India through our unique scholarship programs, and through our timely intervention in each case that is brought forward to us.
How We Work

As soon as someone recommends a student who needs financial support, Aaghaz asks its members to volunteer for a pre-scholarship survey. A minimum of two volunteers are needed.
