Asha distributed stationery materials to all Asha supported schools in 2025.
One of Asha’s key annual initiatives is the distribution of stationery materials to government schools supported by us. With our long standing association with government schools, we have an understanding of the needs of students and schools across our various projects. We procure essential materials such as notebooks, pens, pencils, geometry sets, and other learning tools.
This effort goes beyond simply handing out supplies—it’s about ensuring that every child has the basic resources to participate fully in the classroom. In many government schools, access to quality stationery is limited, and students often struggle to keep up due to lack of materials. By bridging this gap, we help foster a more inclusive and equitable learning environment.
Every year, we procure materials and distribute them across schools in our various projects. You may view the stationery materials distribution album for 2025 here.
In Tamilnadu, we are present in-
- Thiruvallur (Project Sangamam),
- Thoothukudi (Project Pearl),
- Thiruvanamalai (Project Thulasi),
- Thiruvarur (Project Kaveri), and
- Chennai (Project Poornavidhya)
In Uttar Pradesh at-
- Rajatalab (Project Rajatalab) and
- Mirzapur (Project Mirzapur)
Project Rajatalab
This year, Project Rajatalab kick started the material distribution in August 2025. Asha Project corodinators, Mr. VS Sriram and Ms. Jayalakshmi visited Rajatalab from Chennai to participate in the distribution. Asha distributed materials to 12 schools benefitting 2,578 students in Rajatalab.
