Asha Stanford’s featured Project for Holi -  SAMARTHA (Orissa) -

Project SAMARTHA is a residential school for disabled students in the Ganjam district of Orissa State in India. This school reaches out to disabled students from rural and urban areas to impart basic educational as well as vocational training; thereby giving them an opportunity to become independent. Ultimately the school aspires to help disabled people to assert their right of assimilating with mainstream society.

Asha recognizes and salutes their valiant efforts.  Currently, the school educates 58 students annually with Asha Stanford’s financial support. You too can help the education of disabled children from Project Samartha. For more information on this project, please click here

Please consider donating to Samartha. You can truly help change someone’s life.

$15 can support a disabled child at Samartha for an entire month.
