Asha Seattle's Project Partners

Formal Schools: We work with formal schools for children in rural as well as urban areas, usually located in areas where there is no other schooling available. The schools provide full time schools for children with the syllabus prescribed by the government.

Non Formal Educational (NFE) Centers: Asha works with community started NFE centers for children who are unable to attend formal schools, and provide an opportunity for those who wish to continue formal education.

Support a Child: The Asha Support a Child program (which includes special children) makes it possible for an individual to sponsor the cost of education or total living expense for one underprivileged child in India. Asha follows through by disbursing and monitoring the sponsors' funds. It works with both sponsors and the partners in India to obtain regular reports of the children and build strong sponsor-child communication.

Support a School: Support A School (SAS) is a program that makes it possible for an individual to sponsor the running cost of a school for underprivileged children in India.

Donate-a meal: Udavum Karangal's AnnaLakshmi Program is a special program that provides mid-day meals to scores of needy children.

Marginalized children and children with special needs: Children pushed into drugs, prostitution, rape, street children are in as much need of education, vocational training, treatment, therapy and counseling. Asha works with partner groups focusing on such children.
