Asha for Education is a non-profit organization that sponsors educational projects in India. Our goal is to help underprivileged children become independent and give them a life that they rightfully deserve. The NYC/NJ Chapter of Asha for Education is a zero overhead organization, so every dollar you donate will go towards Asha's projects in India.
Asha for Education's Marathon Program is one of the premier endurance sports training programs in the United States. We provide personalized coaching, motivation and support to train for a marathon or half marathon. Our program is the largest fundraiser for Asha in order to sponsor educational initiatives across India.
Team Asha has no race, age, gender or national boundaries. Runners are from mixed races and nationalities all training together, achieving the same goals and cheering each other on.
Quite a few members of Team Asha have made running a part of their fitness routine and continue to run after the season gets over. They even run through the winter and come back the following year to train for another marathon. Running has become an integral part of their lives.
