DID YOU KNOW?

The health statistics in Asha slums are often better than those of India as a whole. Click here to learn more.. 

Working for the poor of Delhi

Nearly 4 million people live in slums in the city of Delhi, India. Conditions are appalling, with a lack of education and access to basic amenities causing inhabitants to get trapped in a life of poverty and deprivation. Asha provides support, education and healthcare for these people, giving them the motivation and abilities to make lasting changes to their lives.

Empowerment

Asha's training and support enables even those with no education to fight for their basic rights.

Healthcare

Asha's many healthcare initiatives have made a huge impact on the health and awareness of people living in the slums.

Environment

Slum residents can gain access to safe water, latrines and cleaner surroundings through collaboration with Asha.

Thank You Asha 

My son died when he was a baby as he had diarrhoea and I didn't know the right way to treat him. I was depressed and ashamed, and wouldn't go out for a long time. Asha convinced me to join a women's group and to learn how to recognise and treat different health problems. Now, I've been a Community Health Volunteer for 16 years and only one other child has died from diarrhoea in that time - I'm determined to make sure there are no more.
