Located in the hills of Yeoor in Thane, bordering Sanjay Gandhi national park is a balwadi run by Satyagrahi association. It was supported for a while by a group of NRIs (Non-Resident Indians); until they sudenly couldn;t support them anymore. The Cleveland chapter of Asha stepped in to support the group and helped them through the process of obtaining FCRA. The group was also helped in obtaining a more permanent space to run the balwadi after being shunted out of a few places; government regulations prohibits us from building a permanent structure on land that is essentially considered as tribal property.
Various programs such as mid-day meal were initiated by the Cleveland chapter.
This project is an Asha-stars projects.
