Sponsor Us
Sponsor us
We welcome funding for different areas of our work, particularly, to sponsor the education of Aashray’s children – who we work with very closely. We also seek funding for our existing and upcoming programmes, with vulnerable women and children, caught up in the poor margins of our urban society. Our aim is to open various Aashray centres to reach out to more and more people in need of care and assistance.
We are registered under Section 12A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, and all donations made to us are eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. We are also registered with the NITI Aayog. Presently, we do not have FCRA registration yet and are unable to accept donations from foreign sources.
Some of our continuous requirements are:
Teaching Aid
Since we work primarily with underprivileged children, their unique educational needs require a constant supply of quality teaching aids, including extra-curricular activities. We strive to provide them with the same toys, books, bags, uniforms, etc., which the privileged kids get.
Infrastructure
We follow the concept of a ‘safe space’/Aashray, under which we work from centres situated near the communities. For this, infrastructural finances such as rent, staff, kitchen, etc., are continuously required – in addition to opening more Aashray Centres and reach out to even more people in need.
Food & Nutrition
A balanced diet is essential for the optimum growth of the children and women we work with. For this reason, we provide a home-cooked meal to each of our beneficiaries, every day – Monday to Saturday – keeping in mind their individual dietary requirements and healthy growth.
Projects
We believe in long-term projects, informed by continuous research. This enables us to continually improve and increase our impact in society. These endeavours require dedicated staff and other critical resources, for which we seek sponsors, well-wishers and partners.
