The goal of this project is to help Srividhya center move into its own premises in about 3-4years. Srividhya has been very successful in its fund raising efforts and would continue its efforts.
Asha Toledo is planning to help them in providing them permanent building for the school. This will reduce the expenses of rent and other utilities for the school and hostel facility for the students. The building will be near the city to support growing needs of children and it will help accommodating more differently abled students.
Earlier Asha-Silicon Valley has handled this project and helped them to cover recurring expenses for 2-3 years. It helped the organisation to support more number of disabled children who had to be turned back earlier due to lack of financial support.
Presently, Asha-Minnesota is stewarding this project to cover salaries for special education teachers. The support for building costs will be stewarded by Asha-Toledo.
