As a member of Clarington Lion’s Club Diabetes Awareness Committee, she is working towards raising the awareness of diabetes in school-aged children. While she was in London, Ontario, Aisha volunteered at the Mount Hope Long Term Care Facility as a feeding aide for elderly patients suffering from dysphasia, and conducted a survey to improve the quality of life and service for the residents. Aisha has also volunteered at the St. Thomas Hospital and the Kidney Foundation of Canada. More recently, Aisha has been involved as a fund-raiser for the victims of the 2004 South Asian Tsunami and South Asian Earthquake in 2005.
