The history of the ACT Foundation is a journey from personal grief to global impact.
Ammucare Charitable Trust (ACT) was created by P.K. Mohan (known as Mohanji) in 2003 in honor of his daughter Ammu, who passed away at the age of four, in a tragic road accident three years earlier.
She displayed maturity and purity, way beyond her physical age and during her brief sojourn on this planet, her love and charisma touched many people’s lives. It is through the love that continuously flows through ACT that little Ammu indeed lives on!
ACT Foundation started in Dubai, UAE in November 2003. ACT team led by the Founder Mohanji and that time President of ACT, Mr. Anand Nair, engaged hands-on into many amazing initiatives, like: Iran earthquake, 2004 tsunami in Asia, Lebanon war.
Jan 2003As of 2012, ACT started spreading internationally, much beyond the boundaries of India, under the name of ACT Foundation. ACT Foundation’s sister charity Ammucare still remains active within India, while ACT Foundation covers the rest of the world.
As of 2012, ACT initiatives gained momentum across the globe, with Devi Mohan as the Global President. In 2012 ACT was registered in South Africa and next in the United Kingdom. ACT USA and ACT Serbia joined the global ACT family in early 2013. Ever since, ACT Foundation continued growing and developing into a worldwide movement, transcending all man-made barriers of race, class, gender, religion, politics and species.
Small groups of people committed to unconditional service to humanity were instrumental in the process. Today ACT is present in 23 countries and continues to expand, thanks to its amazing volunteers who truly are the heart of ACT.
March 2012In 2025, ACT Foundation celebrates 22 years of selfless service, continuing its mission to uplift lives through compassion and action. This year, ACT expanded its global footprint with new initiatives in Latin America and Southeast Asia, focusing on mental wellness, environmental sustainability, and women empowerment. In India, Ammucare continues to serve communities through education, mobile healthcare, and nutrition support.
Under the guidance of Global President Devi Mohan, ACT’s network of volunteers in 23+ countries remains the heart of its mission. The launch of the ACT Youth Ambassador Program in 2025 marked a significant step in nurturing future leaders dedicated to service. With each act of kindness, ACT carries forward the legacy of little Ammu, spreading love beyond all boundaries.

Take a look at the Vision and Mission of ACT Foundation, which aims to uplift the less fortunate, alleviate poverty, and protect the environment through selfless service.
The MISSION of ACT Foundation is to provide care for the less fortunate, alleviate all forms of poverty and protect the environment through direct action, education and empowerment.
ACT stands for Ammucare Charitable Trust. ACT is a charity that grew organically since 2003, with no membership fees and no sponsors. It was the family-like heart to heart bonding between members of each ACT team, love expressed in action and deeper understanding of the importance of selfless service, that made ACT what it is today – a worldwide movement caring for all life on earth, transcending all man-made barriers of race, class, gender, religion, politics and species. The mission of ACT Foundation was always focused on making a positive change.
The VISION of ACT is to create a better world through loving and selfless service that uplifts and transforms both the giver and the receiver.
The key to fulfilling this vision is a dedicated global community of service-driven individuals who are able to reach out to the needy at every nook and corner of our planet.
ACT members and volunteers make it a point to deliver the aid directly into the hands of the needy, interacting with the needy heart-to-heart, as well as to inspire others to come out of the stress-induced lethargy and experience the beauty of social service.
Vision and Mission of ACT Foundation is all about the flowering of humanity through love, compassion and caring for all life on earth, expressed through action.
The charity’s causes and projects are wide and varied, encompassing small initiatives led by an individual or small group, to larger projects carried out in partnership with other organizations. Size is irrelevant because every ACT, whether small or large, local or global, counts.
“One positive ACT a day” is the main slogan of ACT Foundation. Through small steps with utmost commitment, leading by our own example, we embrace the world.
ACT teams around the world donate freshly cooked and/or non-perishable vegan food, i.e. the food without any violence or bloodshed in its production, food that is beyond any religious barrier.
