VISION & MISSION: Re-schooling the school drop-out children from tribal sect. Provide education skill sets to tribal children- especially drop outs-to help them integrate with main stream.
To take care of all the expenses of 10 students identified by the trust per our request.
On analyzing the peculiar problems of school drop-outs in tribal societies we came to the interference that it is abject poverty combined with lack of consciousness and geographical barriers that created inhibitive environment wherein a vast majority of tribal children end up drops-out. In societies chronically plagued by mass deprivation and starvation, education becomes the first casualty. Residential scholastic education thus becomes imperative. This Vidyalaya is located at Mattilayam, in Wayanad district, Kerala, one of the most backward areas having a sizable population of tribal communities.As per our request, the trust has identified 10 students who can benefit with Asha for Education sponsorship.
