ACTION FOR SELF-RELIANCE, HOPE & AWARENESS
Igniting Hope and Transforming Lives in Rural India.
Since 1993, Asha India has been committed to empowering women, educating children, and ensuring vital health access across the nation.
See Our Work →Our Mission & Story
**Asha India (Action for Self-Reliance Hope & Awareness)** was founded in 1993 by a group of nine dedicated professionals committed to combating socio-economic challenges in India. Our foundation is built on the belief that local communities hold the key to their own upliftment.
We moved away from short-term relief to sustainable solutions, focusing primarily on empowerment programs for women and the holistic development of the girl child. Today, we work across multiple states, ensuring our impact is deep, measurable, and enduring.
Vision
A society where every woman and child has the resources and freedom to thrive and lead a dignified life.
Values
Transparency, Accountability, Compassion, and Community-Led Development.
