What is ASHA?

ASHA is an organization that promotes education of underprivileged children in India. ASHA has no political/religious affiliations. ASHA collects its funds through its own fund-raising activities and from donations from groups or individuals. For details see http://ashanet.org.

Does my project qualify for Asha funding?

For a detailed description of our project evaluation process and selection criteria, please refer to doc/pdf. Briefly, we look for projects that:

• deal with education (and perhaps related issues of vocational training, health care, school meals etc.) of underprivileged children in India;
• are strictly secular and expressly non-discriminatory (based on religion, color, race, caste, sex etc.) in their charter and implementation;
• are well-defined, have definite goals in the short term, and focus on self-sustainability in the long term.
