Features of an Asha Star Project
-
Asha Star Project Members
-
Each Asha Star Project has members who all share a
common vision and take responsibility in ensuring the
success of the project. The recommended
number of members for a project based on past
experience is between 5-10.
-
Asha Star Project Co-ordinator
-
He/she is the direct contact for that particular
project. Ideally this should be the person who will
propose a project in the first place. Anyone
contacting this person, should be able to get the
status of the project and if he/she so desires, get
involved with the co-ordinator's approval.
-
Approval of
the project by a registered Asha for Education chapter
-
The Asha Star Project has to be approved by a
registered chapter of Asha for Education. The accounts
for the project will be maintained and submitted
yearly to the IRS by the treasurer for this chapter.
Every year, the Asha Stars Project needs to be
ratified by the Asha chapter.
-
Site visit -
Prior to the start of the project and once a year after that.
-
At least one person in the particular Asha Star
Project team must have visited the site before the
project is selected. Following this, a site visit
needs to be made once every year. For these subsequent
visits, assistance may be sought from Asha-India
volunteers/partners.
-
Maintenance of
web page for the project
-
Minimum information of the project must be
maintained at a web-site with the standard Asha
Projects template. The web-page may contain Site-Visit
reports, Financial statement, Photographs of the
project, List of current Asha Stars and the Asha
Stars Project Brochure. A typical Asha Stars Project
web-site might look like this

-
Project Updates
-
Bi-yearly (six monthly) reports are to be posted on
the project web-site. This is to document progress
for the benefit of those involved in the project and
the public at large. Asha-India partners may fill in
directly on web page after a site-visit.
