Dear Friends,
This report comes to you at the end of another memorable and successful year at Asha. Having already enabled 600 children to access college and university, this year we took the big step of helping these young people to consider their next move and their future careers. With the cooperation of the Australian High Commission and the New Zealand High Commission, we launched the groundbreaking Asha Mentorship and Asha Internship Programmes. Both of these programmes offer fantastic chances for these students from slums to advance their job prospects as well as their personal development.
It is amazing that we have been able to maintain this progress in the face of the severe budget restraints we continue to face. The vast majority of Asha’s support now comes from our individual supporters worldwide. All of this gives us hope that we will come through this difficult time even stronger and more resolute to serve the poor.
As you read this report we hope that you will be inspired by the important development that is occurring in Delhi’s slums in so many areas.
