Ayang Trust is a registered charitable trust based out of Majuli Island District in Assam. “Ayang” means love in the language of the Mising Tribe, the community with whom Ayang’s work started and is still largely working with. Ayang works with a vision of “A world where everyone has the choice to live a life of dignity, purpose, and love irrespective of their conditions of birth.”
The formal work of Ayang Trust was preceded by the establishment of The Hummingbird School in January 2017 as a joint effort of 19 villages of the Mising tribe in Majuli Island, Assam along with Bipin - an IIT KGP Alum, then a volunteer teacher in another school in Majuli. Majuli is a flood and erosion affected island district in Assam. Once the school started working, Bipin was joined by Dharamjeet and Aswathy. The school with its deep connection with the community was involved in activities beyond its walls - supporting over 2000 families in flood relief and resilience in 2017, helping families in medical emergencies etc. With the realization that the issues affecting the island communities were multifold and complex, and needed concerted purposeful interventions in education, livelihood and community development, Ayang Trust was formally registered by the trio in November 2017.
