Ayaan has always enjoyed helping people and giving back to society. He believes that there is nothing more powerful than being involved directly with the people who he is supporting. In 2016, Ayaan joined Safina Charity, an Islamic relief charity in Kenya, on their annual Ramadhan food distribution programme to poor, remote regions in Northern Kenya, close the borders of Ethiopia and Somalia. This was an incredibly powerful experience for Ayaan and put many things into perspective. He has committed to helping more people in Africa during his lifetime.
