About this project
Badi Asha in Hindi means “Big Hope”. The school provides free education, for ~167 children from kindergarten to grade-8, aged 4-16 years old, who reside in the impoverished Aurangabad district (Varanasi).
In addition to a child-focused,creativity centred education and a safe environment for learning and play, we provide our students with uniforms, school supplies, 2 healthy organic meals and healthcare free of cost for the children and their families. We also provide assistance with secondary school tuition for our alumni.
Our Tailoring Project is committed to Community and Women’s Empowerment: the all-woman staff is trained to design and produce tailored goods which are sold under the "LEARN for LIFE" brand. Currently we do have a cooperation with a local artisan shop, where these goods are being sold. All products sold are hand-made, and many fabrics used are hand-printed or hand-woven.All women are provided with a fair salary and free healthcare.100% of profits go to further support the project.
We also started a new vocational training for tour guides in Varanasi.The training provides classes in Computer, English, Economy and History/Culture classes.
