About Asha For Education

Asha for Education is a globally recognized, volunteer-driven nonprofit organization committed to transforming lives through the power of education. Established in 1991 by a group of students at the University of California, Berkeley, Asha was founded on the belief that access to education is a fundamental right that can break the cycle of poverty. With over 40 chapters worldwide and thousands of active volunteers, Asha collaborates with grassroots organizations across India to support a wide range of educational initiatives from early childhood education and primary schooling to vocational training and special education for children with disabilities. The organization prioritizes projects that serve underprivileged and marginalized communities in both rural and urban areas, ensuring that educational opportunities reach those who need them most. Asha operates with complete transparency, driven by its core values of inclusivity, secularism, and sustainability. By empowering local communities, encouraging volunteer involvement, and promoting long-term impact, Asha for Education has helped improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of children over the years. Its mission goes beyond classrooms aiming to nurture confidence, independence, and hope in every child it reaches.
