Asha for Education

We are a group of socially conscious women backed by several decades of experience in social work. As office bearers of a renowned social service organization (Monday Charity Club) that successfully carries on several projects intended to benefit old destitute women, deserted women, school going children, college students, the sick and the infirm (under project Vishranthi) we gained invaluable experience in the care of the needy. We formed the Sri Ramacharan Charitable Trust® on October 10, 1999 to specifically concentrate on providing basic education to children who are the future of India. There are six volunteer trustees and all the donations received are directly used for charitable purposes. We have experience in social work and Trust administration. We want the less fortunate to be able to have access to the horn of plenty - the cornucopia.We felt that catching children young and giving them proper education coupled with enabling them to have a positive and cheerful attitude towards life would be very meaningful and nourish a whole generation with promise of a bright and attainable future.

We recognized the disparity in opportunities between the privileged and the under privileged children. The result was the introduction of the Montessori Style Instruction in Chennai Corporation Schools, starting in 2005. Our work has expanded from working in two K.G classrooms to working in 14 K.G. classrooms and 7 balwadi centers today. This by itself is an indication of the huge success of the project and we plan to expand and extend our work to more schools and balwadi centers if more funds come our way.
