Mission Statement:



To catalyze socio-economic change in India through education of underprivileged children.



Asha for Education is a secular organization dedicated to change in India by focusing on basic education in the belief that education is a critical requisite for socio-economic change.



In keeping with this focus, our volunteers are involved with and support projects that are secular and have an education-related component to them. The objectives of this group are:



- To provide education to underprivileged children in India.



- To encourage the formation of various local groups across the world to reach out to larger sections of the population.



- To support and cooperate with persons and groups already engaged in similar activities.



- To raise the required human and other resources to achieve the group objectives.



- To provide opportunities to individuals living outside India who wish to participate in Asha activities in India.



- To address, whenever possible, other issues affecting human life such as health care, environment, socio-economic aspects and women's issues.



Projects:



Asha works with a variety of project partners and community groups in many educational and development related endeavors. Our mission is not only to look at issues concerning access to education, but also to ensure that every child has access to an education that is meaningful. We try and ensure that nutrition and health care needs of the children are met. As our rapport builds with our partners and communities we provide support to make the community impact more tangible by supporting areas of need such as women�s issues, community awareness related issues and more. With these thoughts in mind we have invested our energies in supporting different types of endeavors as described below. Our support in each of these areas not only helps the individual efforts but also guides our work in terms of how we invest our energies as an organization. It helps us realize the problems faced by different communities and the important role played by each type of endeavor.
