| About the Support a Child (SAC) Program
|
| The Asha LA Support A Child
program makes it possible for an individual to sponsor the cost
of education for one underprivileged child in India.
Asha's role
is to find a suitable education project run by a non profit
organization in India which 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. Asha follows
through by disbursing and monitoring the sponsors' funds.
Asha will obtain regular progress reports of the children and
build strong sponsor-child communication. The sponsor has
the opportunity to become a mentor and a 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.
Your monetary
contributions will be directed to Street
to School, an Asha LA approved project. The sponsorship will
go towards covering expenses for tuition, books, uniforms,
school activities, and residential care.
