Support Us

At the Si Asha Foundation, our mission to empower children with intellectual disabilities and marginalized groups is fundamentally supported by the generosity of our donors. Solidarity is imperative to our cause. With your support, we can make a substantial impact by:

  • Ensuring access to a tailored educational program that enhances each child’s potential, adapting teaching methods and materials to best suit their learning needs.
  • Providing essential physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatments that address each child’s physical challenges, improving their mobility and overall health.
  • Developing personal skills and autonomy, preparing them for daily life and future independence, which is particularly critical for children who may not have support systems at home.
  • Significantly improving the nutritional and health status of each child, fostering better overall development and ensuring they have the energy and health to participate fully in school activities.

Our commitment extends beyond the direct services we provide. Our comprehensive approach also focuses on transforming the societal and familial environments surrounding these children. Many face significant barriers to inclusion in mainstream educational settings and society at large. This multifaceted strategy ensures that we address not only the educational needs but also the broader societal challenges these children face.

Your support is crucial in helping us create a more inclusive and supportive environment for children with intellectual disabilities. Together, we can provide them with the opportunities they deserve and help them lead fulfilling lives.
