Built from a simple belief:
help should reach people in time.

MOHAMED RIYAS H.Y. began the SOS journey after witnessing people struggle during medical emergencies—especially when families needed blood, medicines, hospital support or simply the right information at the right time. The challenge was often not only money. It was also uncertainty: whom to call, where to find a donor, how to reach support and how to respond quickly.

That experience shaped a simple principle: emergency help should be easier to access, more organised and more humane. SOS Foundation grew from that principle into a volunteer-led platform connecting people, information and practical assistance without a profit motive.

His professional background includes B.Com, PGDCA, DCA and HDCA, alongside work as a supermarket manager. The organisation has grown through volunteer participation, community relationships and direct service rather than a large institutional structure.

The long-term vision is deliberately bigger than emergency response: strengthen affordable healthcare access, expand education and skill opportunities, protect vulnerable children, support families and build systems that can continue creating measurable social value.
