Asha gives hope to around 400,000 people living in more than 50 slum colonies of Delhi by allowing them to realise their potential, regardless of their background, caste or religious beliefs. Asha addresses deep-rooted social and poverty induced problems by involving community members in every aspect of our work. We aim to make lasting benefits in the lives of slum dwellers through empowerment, healthcare, education, financial inclusion and environmental improvement.

I was suffering from Tuberculosis and my son couldn't cope with looking after me so he moved out. The TB got worse and I relapsed. An Asha community health volunteer noticed my illness, made sure I took my medicine and gave me rations of nutritious food. If Asha was not here I would have died by now.
