Ababeel was started in Doda and after gap of some months, Kishtwar unit of Ababeel created.

It was founded in 2015 when 2014-2015 Kashmir Floods destroyed many lives in Kashmir valley. The founder of Ababeel collected relief material in Doda for flood effected Kashmiris and went voluntarily with some associates to Kashmir to distribute them. But when they reach Kashmir, some associates suggested to write any name on the packs of relief material so that people remember Doda area had helped them. One of the associates suggested "Ababeel" means "a group which is united and scattered". The Logo of Ababeel Charitable Trust consists of a Swallow bird and it's arabic name Ababeel in alphabets. The dictionary meaning of ABABEEL is a group which is united and scattered. The bird Ababeel (Arabic: أبابيل‎, romanized: abābīl) refers to the miraculous birds in Islamic belief mentioned in Sura 105 of the Quran that protected the Ka'ba in Mecca from the Aksumite elephant army of Abraha, then self-styled governor of Himyar, by dropping small clay stones on them as they approached. Hence, the name Ababeel selected for writing on the relief material. Later, Adv Hassan Babur Nehru, Dr Muzammil Wahidi and their associates registered this name Ababeel as Charitable Trust in Sub Registrar Office Doda.
