Access to education is a basic human right that too many children in India are deprived of. Asha for Education is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization that has been working since 1991 to change this. Asha's volunteers work to find, develop and fund education projects in the hopes of empowering India's youth. Since its inception, Asha has raised over $4 million to help finance more than 350 projects across 24 Indian states.

Founded in 1995, Asha's Boston/MIT chapter is a group of dedicated working professionals and students in New England that has developed long-standing ties to people and organizations in India working to expand and improve education.
