Who are we?

We are a group of professionals and students.

What is our aim?

We work towards socio-economic change in India. We believe that illiteracy is a major handicap for the poor. We hope to help them build a brighter future for themselves and for India through basic education and vocational training.

How do we achieve it?

We collect tax deductible contributions from supporters in the United States to fund educational projects run by voluntary groups in all parts of India. Projects are chosen with care, and typically visited by an Asha member before the decision to support them is made. Since Asha is run entirely by volunteers, we have no operational costs, and contributions go entirely towards supporting projects.

How you can help...

Your matching gift along with the original donation will help give children an opportunity they might otherwise not have. Even a small dollar amount, at current exchange rates, will go a long way towards making a difference in a child's life.
