DO Supports

Australian Friends of Asha is the Australian branch of Asha India; a charitable organisation created by Dr Kiran Martin in 1988. Asha works with people in India residing in slums; and benefits more than 700,000 people from over 91 slum colonies of Delhi. Asha aims to provide holistic community-based healthcare, empowerment, financial inclusion, education and environmental improvements by training, resourcing and encouraging slum communities to receive and enjoy their basic human rights and make it possible for them to make long-term, positive changes to their lives. They make a difference to slum dwellers through: Networks of trained community volunteers provide basic healthcare to their fellow slum residents. They encourage people to keep themselves healthy and to receive the full benefits of healthcare provided by Asha: community-based health centres or mobile clinics, a polyclinic providing a higher level of healthcare and effective links with local hospitals. Many NGOs provide education for disadvantaged children, but Asha goes further. It motivates and encourages parents to send their children to school, and makes whole communities aware of the value of education. Asha provides textbooks, sample papers, career advice and help with university applications that make a college education an option – something that was unthinkable before. A groundbreaking scheme giving slum dwellers the chance to take control of their finances. Asha’s approach allows slum residents to have direct relationships with banks. They can open accounts with zero balance and can benefit from loans at extremely favourable rates, enabling them to greatly increase their incomes and improved quality of life. It’s nearly impossible for people to stay healthy if they live somewhere without clean water or sanitation. Asha makes slums safer places to live by helping residents get access to water, toilets, paved roads, street lighting and other amenities. Asha works to motivate and empower people, giving them the confidence and ability to work together and influence their fellow slum residents, council officials, police, school authorities and others. Asha gives people living in slum arears hope by allowing them to value their potential regardless of their background, cast or religious beliefs.
