Asha for Education

The aim of the school curriculum is to train very young deaf children (when their ability to to grasp developmental skills is at its peak) to acquire valuable language and speech skills so that they can then get integrated into mainstream education and have the same opportunities as other children.
As the classroom materials in the school are not altogether usable, this curriculum is largely affected. Asha-MN's goal is to help Balavidyalaya regain the full potential of their curriculum, by providing funding for student and teacher materials.

The Balavidyalaya school for young Deaf Children, located in Chennai Tamil Nadu, is a non-residential, private and non-profit educational center for hearing-impaired babies and pre-school children, ages 0 to 5 years. The Balavidyalaya Trust, a registered non-profit making Charitable Trust, is in charge of the management of the school. The organization has been functioning since 1969, and has formulated their own methodology to teach hearing impaired children. The school has its own teacher training institute and diagnostic center. Balavidyalaya appeals to philanthropic in deed firms and individuals to help them by donating liberally, so that they can continue the noble cause of providing free services.
