The activities of this society dates back to 1990s. At that time, Imam Ali’s Popular Students Relief Society commenced their work by establishing their first office at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, acting as the first active student society that aimed to reduce the social vulnerability and harm. Having officially registered at Iran’s ministry of Interior, this society was known as a non-governmental organization, which extended its work to all over the country since then. The members inaugurated their first official place in 2005 on Molavi neighborhood located in Southern part of Tehran and called it “Iranian House” to symbolize the significant attempt of Iranian university students for Iran’s developments.
