The Aasha Foundation provides comprehensive social, recreational and educational enrichment support for 36 girls and young women from a shelter home in Mumbai, India. Our programs integrate our students with broader Mumbai society and provide the girls with the same kinds of experiences as their middle-class peers. Thanks to Aasha Foundation funding and project management, the students attend private schools, speak English, have excellent computer skills, and enjoy a range of activities including basketball, yoga, science workshops, and singing class to name a few. Our students are on a track to attend university and pursue professional careers and independent, productive lives. In fact, our first student graduated from nursing college in 2014 and is working full-time as a nurse, and 7 other young women are now attending university and living in college dorms. All college educations, room and board, and other costs are funded by Aasha.
