A ray of hopeOur Mission

“Aashayein – A Ray of Hope“ is dedicated to reach-out

underprivileged kids who will be facilitated with books and

stationery materials for their education during the start of

academic year.

We do remember our childhood days when at the start of

each academic year, we would run to the nearby shop with

parents

to buy new books, textbooks and other stationery

materials. But there are countless kids who are deprived

of this basic need for their education. Can we do

something for them?  Project Aashayein is the answer.

Through project Aashayein, we are ensuring that the child

will never fall short of notebooks to write and pens to

express as we provide them with adequate materials

required by them for the entire year.

Empower them with knowledgeOur VisionOur vision is to help them build their future by providing them with

all the support.

With prime focus being Education, we aim to empower them with

the best of the facilities which every child deserves.

We also focus on creating the right ambience and surrounding for

them so as to ensure they don’t lose their focus nor interest.

Educate a child, Enrich a Life.

This year we aim to gift stationery materials to 25000 children. Each stationery kit

contains all the materials required for the entire academic year, with a costing of

around INR. 400/- per kit. The kits are made according to the need of the student

as shared by the teachers in charge.

Our team ensures that each kit reaches the child as they personally distribute the

kit by visiting every school.
