Our mission statement
To catalyze socio-economic change in India through education of underprivileged children.
Asha for Education is an organization dedicated to change in India by focusing on basic education in the belief that education is a critical requisite for socio-economic change. In keeping with this focus, our volunteers work with and support projects that are secular and have an education-related component to them.
