ASHRAM International begun in 1997 as a UK-based small charity. Its foundations were laid by the late Mr George Joseph and other individuals interested in the alleviation of poverty in the Indian sub-Continent and neighbouring countries. It was formed as a practical response to the challenge: “Am I my brother’s keeper?”. Currently, its outreach work programme has been in action to changing the quality of lives of over 16,000 individuals in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

"GIVE THE CHILDREN BACK THEIR FUTURE"

The Organisation’s developmental on-going programme focuses to meet the marginalised, dis-enfranchised and exploited, mostly vulnerable women and abandoned and unwanted street children in their very point of need. 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 basic planks of ASHRAM International’s work programme are:

• a) Employment Generation
• b) Empowerment of Women
• c) Enabling Self-Help Housing
