How can I Help?

The strength of an organization such as Asha lies in its volunteers and donors. Some people choose to help us with Monetary Donations, some help by volunteering their time and many others do both. We are grateful to them for their support and hope that you, the reader, will also be interested in helping us.

We at Asha-Chennai hope you will choose to support us through at least one of the many ways described below. You can be assured that you WILL help make a BIG difference in the lives of children supported through our projects.

  • Donations
  •   You can donate to Asha-Chennai by any of the following methods.
    • Asha is a public charitable trust with 12A and 80G and donations made to it are tax exempt.
    • If you are located in the US you can make a tax-deductible donation to Asha for Education (Chennai chapter).
    • You may also donate in kind. As we are doing many programs teaching computer students at government schools, we are always in need of computers. Please contact us to work out we can receive these computers.
  • Support – A – Child

You may support any of the children we provide scholarships for as a part of the Asha Scholarships Project. You would provide scholarship to cover the education expenses of the child (including school fees, books and uniforms). You would get periodic feedback on the status of the student and be provided opportunity to interact with the student.

  • Volunteering

Many people choose to help us, not monetarily, but by volunteering their time. They choose an activity of interest to them and help out as possible. There are no time obligations and there is no hierarchy within the volunteers. Its a friendly group, come join us and help as much as you can. Here is a list of areas where we need volunteers.

  • Moral Support

A pat on the back often goes a long way into stimulating us. Contact us if you feel this is a good cause and good work. It makes our day!!
