This is not the first time that Ayaan has fundraised for ActionAid Association. In 2022, Ayaan planned a fundraiser through his organization
FutureMinds4Kids which offers students the chance to learn coding online by teaching classes on different programming languages such as Scratch, HTML/CSS, Python, and Java. Before this, Ayaan donated an oxygen concentrator to ActionAid Association during the second wave of COVID-19 infections to help vulnerable families survive the impact of the pandemic.
