Nourishing Children in Delhi’s Slums: Support our New Initiative
As Asha continues to impact communities, we would like to support our most vulnerable: children under five years old.
Asha’s Early Childhood Nutrition Campaign will provide nutritious food, healthcare, and emotional support to the most vulnerable children. This program will offer healthy meals, early learning activities, and critical health services to empower families and ensure children have the resources they need to thrive. This campaign will build on our health check-ups, vaccinations, and medical care. By expanding to include comprehensive nutrition and early childhood development, we can change the course of a child’s life—especially for young girls, who are often given less food and fewer opportunities than boys.
Your donation will bring us closer to the £11,500 needed to provide these life-changing resources for one year to children in one slum, £23,000 for children in two slums, and £34,500 per year for children in three slums. With your support, we can expand this program to all Asha slums.
If you are contributing to this campaign, please write in “Asha’s Early Childhood Nutrition Campaign” in the donation notes. Please scroll down for donation details.
