About Us

A group of noble people started realising the above saying of the prophet “The Best Gift From A Father To His Child Is Education and Upbringing”.(peace be upon him), and the Delhi Youth Welfare Association (DYWA) was born in December 1990. The team scrutinized all the hindrances that were accountable for the low standard of education in the walled city and started working on eradicating such deterrents for students. The educational fundamental aim of this organization is to impress the values/standards of the historical walled city.

With time, the group started expanding its activities to education and opened a library in 1994. This library was named after the revered Islamic scholar, Hazrat Shah Waliullah Public Library, who was a Muslim reformist in 18^th century India. We began distribution rations, medicines, and scholarships to deserving windows and other in need, under the banner of the Delhi Youth Welfare Association (DYWA); but felt this action, though noble, did not make the desired difference to ground realities. Literacy due to poor financial conditions and the resultant lack of resources was a chronic problem that needed their immediate attention. Hence, we started sponsoring the education of deserving children, and opened the Hazrat Shah Waliullah Public Library, sometimes in the 90s.

DYWA is a non-governmental organization founded on December 6th, 1990. Our mission is to empower underprivileged students through education.
