ASHRAM International

Homepage

ASHRAM International has been running since

 1997, and is making a difference to the lives of

 women in Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

 and Nepal. ASHRAM’s projects focuses on

 improving the living conditions, wellbeing and

 education of women and children from

 economically weak background. This is not done

by handing out a charity donation, but by

 providing the means enabling self employment

 through trained and guided application of micro-

credit The three main planks of ASHRAM’s work

 programme are: a) Employment Generation,

 b) Empowerment of Women and c) Self Help

Housing So far we have had over 25 projects in

 Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and

 Nepal in the areas as below: 1. Provision of

 water and toilets Project 2. Building and

 repairing houses projects 3. Vocational Training

 project for Womens: Craft Centres, Beauticians,

 Traditional Hand made carpets. 4. Establishing

 Small business Projects: Local vegetable shops,

 Bakeries, Live Stock Farming, Milk Chilling Plant,

 Eco-friendly paper cups production. 5. Schools

 and Shelter projects 6. Supply of limbs and

 physiotherapy treatments for victims of landmine

 project. ASHRAM through the above projects had

 been able to make a difference in live of more

 than 16,000 people. All these projects have been

 supported by the only one office with one part

 time employed member of staff by ASHRAM. The

 work is supported by dedicated trustees and

 advisors and other volunteers. ASHRAM fund is

 generated through appeal to other Trusts and

 individuals who support ASHRAM’s valuable work.

 ASHRAM is aiming to continue to support

 empowerment of women projects through

 education, vocational training, and establishing

 business.
