Our history
The story of SAS-P began in 1906 when Johannes Henricus Franciscus Schopman founded a real estate business.
Originally an excellent pastry chef, J.H.F. Schopman started the real estate business – known as AHAM Real Estate – with a couple of properties he inherited.
Not only was he an astute businessman, J.H.F. Schopman was also a very devout Christian. These two themes – the creation of a flourishing real estate business and the mission to care for human beings in need – would come to determine how AHAM developed and how SAS-P is today.
That core principle remains strong today: AHAM Real Estate dividends are directed to those who need them most. Over the years, hundreds of high-impact initiatives received support to achieve their social mission.
The SAS-P portfolio includes ca 50 grantee partners that offer validated solutions in health, education, sustainable livelihoods and dignified homes.
