Give the gift of hope to a child this Giving Tuesday

Dear Asha Patron, Today is no ordinary Tuesday. Its #GivingTuesday - a worldwide movement that celebrates your power to make a difference. In 2015 your donations helped Asha for Education, Boston keep over 12,000 children in school. Your support means a lot to us. It means a lot more to the children whose life you've helped change. Forever. On this Giving Tuesday we ask that you help us once again. Our goal is simple - keep these children in schools for another year. Donate for our Work-an-Hour campaign. Help us keep these children in schools - where they belong. One hour is all it takes.                                                                                      For more info, please visit Asha for Education, Boston/MIT Chapter Asha for Education worldwide Did you know that you can help Asha for Education by shopping on Amazon?

This Diwali, light the 'diya' of hope in a child's life

Dear Asha Patron, On a day filled with joy and happiness for most of us, let us take a moment to remember the not so fortunate, those who struggle to get access to even the most basic education. If finding qualified science teachers is hard in rural Karnataka, finding a school with a functional science laboratory is even harder. The Asha Boston supported Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement - Mobile Science Van project is a traveling laboratory which supports government schools with the necessary staff, raw materials and equipment to demonstrate and facilitate experiential learning of Science. Celebrate Diwali with us by contributing a single hour's worth of your earnings towards Asha's Work-an-Hour campaign. Help us expand the reach of our Mobile Science Van initiative to even more schools.                                                                                      For more info, please visit Asha for Education, Boston/MIT Chapter Asha for Education worldwide

Did you know? Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement has been an Asha for Education partner since2001. Mobile Science Van has been functional since 2008.  40% of the schools in the area don't have Biology teachers,25% don't have a Physics, Chemistry or Math teachers.  Mobile Science Van on one of its visits

Asha for Education's Work an Hour 2014

Dear Asha Patron,

Each year, people like you, from around the world come together in a demonstration of great human spirit, to help educate underprivileged children in India. Work-An-Hour is Asha for Education's summer-long global, online fundraising campaign based on a simple concept: "Donors are requested to symbolically Work An Hour towards the cause of children's education by donating an hour's worth or more of their salary."

This year we bring 11 projects reaching over 3500 children spanning across Indiaaddressing issues such as caste-based discrimination, rural and tribal education, girl empowerment, sheltering children of sex workers, educating children of migrant laborers, and special education for differently-abled children. Over the next 8 weeks, with your generous help, our goal is to raise at-least $133,000 on behalf of these projects.

We invite you to visit WorkAnHour.org to find out more about the projects WAH 2014 is supporting and to donate an hour of your salary towards the education and well-being of children who need our help the most. Your one hour goes a long way in bringing hope into a child's future.

Asha for Education is proud to have been making a difference in the lives of thousands of children all across India by giving them their best shot at rising above poverty and lack of opportunities. In our endeavor, we immensely appreciate your continued support.

Every contribution counts. Take a minute. Make a gesture..

Take A Minute Donate An Hour Change A Life Jul  15 - Sep 30, 2012 Dear Asha Patrons,  On July 15, as we embarked on 'Work an Hour' campaign for the 15th time, we made a promise to 4,300 underprivileged children in India, to keep them in school. When deprived of an opportunity to be in school, in the absence of a minimum wage policy and lack of enforcement of the Child Labor policy, such children shoulder burden, earn less than $1 (~Rs.30) per day, and are abused by society. At Asha, we believe that we have a responsibility to protect and educate girls; support children with special needs, and bring opportunities to children in urban slums. As our campaign draws to a close in two weeks, we have raised more than $60,000 from 400+ donors. But to reach our target of $150,000, we need your active support. One hour of your salary in 2012 is all we ask from you. Give them their childhood they rightfully deserve today, so they can contribute positively to society tomorrow. Please support Today!    Visit www.workanhour.org to find out more about our featured 2012 'Work an hour' projects.

Work-an-Hour and Change a Life!

August 1 - October 15, 2013 "When learning is purposeful, creativity blossoms.  When creativity blossoms, thinking emanates.  When thinking emanates, knowledge is fully lit.  When knowledge is lit, economy flourishes."  - Dr. A.P. J. Abdul Kalam  Dear Asha Patrons:  On August 1st, as we embarked on our 'Work an Hour' campaign for the 16th time, we made a promise to 4,300 underprivileged children in India, to keep them in school. As our campaign draws to a close in less than a month, we have raised more than $40,000 from 240+ donors. But to reach our target of $145,000, we need your active support. In the last week's email, we brought to you some testimonials from our project partners in India. Continuing with the same theme this email brings to you some more testimonials. All our project partners thank you for generously supporting their projects. We only have three weeks before this campaign comes to an end. Below are a few testimonials from our project partners in India: Asha Purdue Chapter is a major donor for the KHEL Patna Center of Diksha Foundation and Alok Charitable trust. Volunteers from the Asha team are also involved with the center and they are exploring the usage of ICT tools to enhance the quality of education. We have established a computer lab with the help of Asha - access to computer and other ICT tools have broadened the world view of the children. - Diksha KHEL (Patna, Bihar, India)  Learn More Donate Asha's support for the construction of Non Formal Education and vocational training centres at Varanasi red light area have been very critical in Guria's fight against human trafficking and forced prostitution. These centres were the backbone in evolving our strategy to end child prostitution, minimize second generation prostitution and prevent trafficking and re-trafficking. - Ajeet Singh, Founder/Director, Guriya Swyam Sevi Sansthan (Varanasi, U.P., India) Learn More Donate Asha for Education has been funding Chehak Trust since 2002, a time when Sahyog was merely an idea. It has stood by us in our most challenging times, such as when the community was being relocated, and the floods of July 2005. It has always appreciated our choice to build Sahyog organically, rooted in the community's life, even at the cost of scale. - Neha Madhiwalla, Sahyog Trustee and a Social Researcher  Learn More Donate   Help us give the under-privileged children in India a better future. Donate now during our "Work an Hour" campaign. On an average one hour of your salary is all it takes to keep a child in school!    These are just a few of the WAH Projects.

August 1 - October 15, 2013 "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -  Nelson Mandela Dear Asha Patrons    The 'Right to Education' Act is here.  Yet, there are an estimated 50 million child laborers in India, based on a statement from a child rights protection group in August 2013. These children toil everywhere from stone quarries and carpet factories to rice mills. In addition, children are bought and sold into bonded slavery for the sex trade or to work as domestic servants. You liked our Facebook page.  You helped us increase our fans from 1,200 last year to 12,000+ this year.  Deep down in your hearts you believe in our cause and efforts, and know that a change is possible if each of us did something about illiteracy in India. Today, our campaign has less than 300 donors. The team at 'Work an Hour' is looking to add 100 donors by the end of this week, to be able to call this campaign a success, as with our previous campaigns.    We really need your help NOW to give our children hope for a better future. This campaign has no meaning without You.   Please visit our website to learn more. To Donate, please click here.
