AASHA India works alongside local leaders to bring clean water, solar power, schools and healthcare to remote tribal villages that have been left behind.
Give Today Partner With UsFor more than half the year, these villages depend on riverbeds that dry up in summer. There are no roads, no electricity, and no school within reach, and many can only be reached on foot, by two-wheeler, or by tractor.
Women tell us they can go a few days without food, but not without water. Children grow up without learning to read. After dark, the villages are completely black.
“We can go a few days without food. We cannot go without water.” A village mother, in summer
Each village receives a complete, lasting set of basics, delivered through trusted local leaders who know and love their own communities.
