Asha Project was created with a vision to empower women in India to help break the cycle of poverty that has a hold on their families and communities.
We believe HOPE (Asha) is the first step in breaking the cycle of poverty in India and around the world.
We believe that all people are valuable and worthy, and we want our women to believe this about themselves, too. They are wives, mothers, daughters, and friends with skills that can grow and expose their own self-purpose. We take pride in prioritizing a fair and liveable wage for all of our workers, so that they may be able to find value in their work and their abilities while helping to support their families.
Asha Project was birthed out of the need for women to have a space to come together in community. Our women are committed to meeting weekly in small groups in their neighborhoods to work on handicrafts, but beyond this, to be available to do everyday life together, through love, support, and encouragement.
You know the phrase, “Empowered Women Empower Women”? We have seen this brought to life and made true! All of our handicraft groups are led by women who themselves started out as a member learning handicraft work. Our hope is that our women would feel proud of themselves and empowered to lead by coming alongside other women in their home and work lives.
