What does Asha Do?
 The Asha Foundation undertakes many projects which provide education, sanitation and health care to rural villages outside of the Kathmandu valley. They are also responsible for the funding and maintenance of 2 children’s homes in Kathmandu.

– Children’s Homes – The Foundation supports two children’s homes in Kathmandu as well as supporting children from single mother and impoverished families. Through its’ sponsorship program Asha are able to provide quality education, safe living environments, health & dental care to over 40 children.

– Earthquake Rebuild – On Saturday 25th April 2015 a powerful earthquake killed over 9,000 people, destroyed ½ million homes and over 5,000 schools.  In the wake of this disaster, the Asha Foundation set up an Earthquake Appeal which raised over $90,000. Through this fund they were able to provide immediate emergency relief to the village of Bhadratar 4 hours north of Kathmandu. This is the site of their Good Oil Education Project which enables over 170 impoverished village children to receive an education.
 The Earthquake Appeal funds has allowed The Asha Foundation to help rebuild three schools in remote villages to the north and north east of the capital Kathmandu.
