Who We Are

Who We Are

ASHA Charitable Trust (Action Sought for Holistic Advancement) is a purpose-driven initiative dedicated to transforming the lives of underprivileged and marginalized children through the power of education. Established to address the urgent needs of children from low-income families, ASHA works to ensure access to quality schooling and the essential support required for them to grow into confident, capable individuals.

At the heart of ASHA’s mission are compassionate families, individuals, and donors who generously support children’s educational journeys by covering school fees, books, uniforms, and other necessities that contribute to their overall well-being and development.

Working alongside schools, educational institutions, and partner organizations, ASHA Charitable Trust acts as a bridge of opportunity—helping to break the cycle of poverty and enabling children to build brighter futures through education and care.
