The Ansari Charitable Trust was founded in 1979, to provide compassionate and dedicated service to society in the areas of education, healthcare and social welfare paying special attention to orphans and destitute.

Late Jb. A V Abdul Majeed Saheb, a native of Chavakkad, later settled in Perumpilavu and a businessman in Qatar, ignited the first spark of his long-cherished dream at a meeting of 13 prominent personalities he convened in 1979 at Shantapuram Lodge, Perintalmanna, Malappuram. The participants, who included Late Jb. Shereef Moulavi, Late Jb. Abdul Ahad Thangal, Late Jb. Pookoya Thangal, Jb. K K Mammunni Moulavi, decided to give life to the idea proposed by Jb. Majeed Saheb by forming Ansari Charitable Trust nominating, from among them, Late Jb. Mohammed Abul Jalal Moulvai as life time Chairman and Jb. Majeed Saheb and Late Jb. Mala Abdul Salam Moulavi as life time Vice Chairman. Late Jb. P K Raheem Saheb was nominated as the first Secretary and Late Jb. V K Usman Saheb was nominated as the first Asst. Secretary.

The Trust was formed with 25 members contributing a land of 4.35 acres owned by Mrs. Jameela Abdul Majeed, wife of Jb. Majeed Saheb. However, the Trust, on suggestion of Late. Jb. Abdul Salam Moulavi and Late. Jb. C Ahamu Saheb, decided to establish the first institution – Ansar English School – at the current site for better visibility and accessibility.
