Our primary objective is to provide education to the underprivileged children of India. In addition, whenever possible, we try to address other related issues such as health care, environment, socio-economic and women's empowerment.

Our emphasis is on the following:

• Form close partnerships with groups in India. We attempt to maintain regular contact and visit the groups we work with to form a stable long term relationship.
• To maximize effectiveness of our efforts we seek to support groups in rural and economically poor areas.
• Provide assistance in different ways such as financial, material and technological support to the groups in India.
• We strive to learn about and disseminate information on different social issues faced by the affected people in India.

We gladly welcome new volunteers. Please feel free to attend our meetings and find out more about volunteer opportunities within Asha. Some activities you can participate in include the following.

• You can choose to  work closely with partner groups in India.
• Provide technological support by creating web sites for some of our partner groups.
• Collect and research material that could be used by some of our schools.
• Participate in disseminating information of social/developmental issues in India. 
• Participating in organizing fund raising events such as concerts, picnics, marathon, movie fests, etc. You can pursue your own ideas with help from other Asha volunteers.
• Help build a steady donor base for Asha.

All administrative expenses are met by the core volunteers. 100% of your donations are sent to Asha's partner groups in India.
