ASHA is a voluntary group of students and professionals committed to contribute for the
improvement of the lives of needy children in India through education. "Asha", which
means "hope" in most of the Indian language, is precisely what we wish to bring into the
lives of these children.

Everybody believes that any form of development (social, political or national) must start with
the proper education of children. Offering them a safe and nurturing environment for acquiring
basic literacy and vocational skills is an imperative, not a choice.

We raise money through fundraisers to help groups in India that are directly involved in children's
education. Contributions made to Asha go entirely to beneficiaries, since we have no overheads.

We select projects that show potential for sustainable performance or those using alternative
teaching methods. Our projects have no political or religious affiliations and are personally visited
on a regular basis.

Asha for Education is a registered charity in the U.K. with registration number 1088168.
