Asha for Education

1. Educating the poor to create income generation opportunities
2. Providing free primary education to the children in the Pamohi area from Nursery to Class 10
3. Helping children develop the qualities of loving kindness, compassion, and universal responsibilities.

Parijat Academy is a school for children of families with low income, living in Pamohi and three adjoining tribal hamlets on the outskirts of Assam's capital Guwahati. The poor literacy rate of children of the village and the nearby villages is the long-term driver for this project. In villages near Parijat Academy, poor tribal women supplement their meagre family income by selling home-made fermented rice beer which leads to a host of problems for these already poor families. By educating the children, the children will be able to pursue alternative means of generating a livelihood and cause social upliftment of the nearby villages.
