Aasraa Trust was established as a social work trust focusing on education of underprivileged children in 2009, in response to a crisis for intervention for the welfare of children from the riverbed slum under the Bindal bridge in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Aasraa then started work with 35 children from the river bed community to promote the need for education and started an after school project to augment school education. This After School Project called- ‘Wings of Doon’ was later shifted to the premises of St. Joseph’s Academy to provide street & slum children with concept and homework support.
Project Street Smart was started on the pavements of Astley Hall in 2011 with a group of 5 street children. The objective of the project was to keep the children off the streets and provide them with basic literacy through art, craft, music and audio visual medium along with nutrition, clothing and medical care.
Today, Aasraa works towards empowering street and slum children through outreach and awareness programs, main streaming, education, education support, vocational training, nutrition, medical care and providing shelter homes. Our mission is to level the playing field for children who have not had the opportunity to attend school or learn skills with which they can earn a decent livelihood. The children we work with come from extremely impoverished backgrounds and are mostly rag pickers, beggars, addicts, runaways and orphans. We work with over a 1000 street & slum children across 11 centers in Dehradun every day.
Our mission is to level the playing field for children who have neither seen books nor stepped into a school. The children we work with come from extremely impoverished backgrounds and are mostly rag pickers, beggars, addicts, runaways and orphans.
Our vision is an India where all children are treated equally, are provided a nurturing support system and have access to an education that gives them the confidence and skills to follow their dreams.
