The support-a-child program makes it possible for an individual to sponsor the cost of education or total living expense for one underprivileged child in India. The aim is to support the child financially till he or she completes college or vocational education and is able to support himself or herself. You can become a sponsor for a child in India for as little as $20/month.
Asha's role is to find a suitable education project run by a non-profit organization in India that targets children who are unable to pursue education due to lack of funds. Then Asha endeavors to find sponsors for the children in this project and facilitates linking sponsors with individual children. Asha follows through by disbursing and monitoring the sponsors' funds. It works with both sponsors and the projects in India to obtain regular progress reports of the children and build a strong sponsor-child communication. The sponsor has the opportunity to become a mentor and friend to his sponsored child by writing letters. The sponsor can also arrange a visit with his child through Asha and the project coordinators in India.
We encourage a minimum commitment of one year so that there is no break in the education of the child. However you can make two 6-monthly payments if you need to. For other payment arrangements please email us dallas-sac@ashanet.org
