Our story
From a way of life to a registered society
Long before 2024, the people who would become JAS Foundation were already serving their communities informally: helping families in distress, sharing food at religious and seasonal occasions, supporting educational and religious institutions, and planting trees. The efforts were modest, and they were guided by one belief: helping others is a shared human duty.
As needs grew more complex, it became clear that lasting help needs structure, accountability and continuity alongside compassion. In 2024, JAS Foundation was formally established as a non-profit welfare society, registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.
Education has always been central. The Foundation oversees M.A. Sattar Memorial College, which carries forward the values of Mohammad Abdus Sattar, remembered for his integrity, generosity and belief in the power of education.
