Asha and AID have trained many first-time runners to complete marathons and in the process have raised funds for education and sustainable development projects in India. Our yearly marathon program is the single-most important fund-raising source and a great way to contribute to Asha's mission. Learn More

*Why Bhopal?*
On December 3rd, 1984, thousands of people in Bhopal, India, were gassed to death after a catastrophic chemical leak at a Union Carbide pesticide plant. More than 23,000 people have died as a result. Few know that the company responsible has never been held accountable and that it has allowed its derelict factory to poison the drinking water of 25,000 people in Bhopal.
