Asha Mumbai believes in the innovative methodologies of teaching which has been practiced in our many projects. It was felt that there is also a need to directly help the under-privileged children who attend other schools and colleges spread across the city and rural areas of Maharashtra. In addition to providing financial assistance to these scholars we believe that Asha volunteers can provide alternate role models and provide valuable mentoring to these scholars.
We developed the scheme ‘Support A Child” (SAC) to cater to the needs of the underprivileged sections of societies across India in general and Maharashtra in particular.
We evolve rules and guidelines after due deliberations which will be revised and updated periodically. A focus group comprising committed volunteers assist the project steward to successfully implement the project with the utmost transparency, the principal objective of our chapter.
Applications are received in the required format, from the students across Maharashtra, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, gender, status. The Focus group then selects carefully from the applications received, the approved number of scholars agreed at the general meeting of Asha Mumbai without bias, nepotism and in a transparent manner. The Asha Mumbai SAC Scholarship Guidelines (Appendix I) provides detailed criteria by which the scholars are chosen.
