Organization Description
Asha Shikshan Sansthan is an Asha run
school in Ballia. The description of the organization Asha can be found
on www.ashanet.org.
Project Description
The project educates the children of socially
and economically backward communities in a village near Babhnauli who
(1) cannot afford education expenses and (2) do not even realise the
importance of education. Currently, most children leave schools at the
age of 10 to 12, to contribute to parents' income. The school presently
is run in a
temple dharamshala and the varandah near it. Besides basic literacy,
the
school provides training in tailoring/knitting, organic farming, bee
keeping,
papad making, agarbatti and chalk manufacturing etc.
Type of Education

Student:Teacher Ratio
