Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are a team from St Michaels Church Blackheath who are going to help the work of Asha, in the Slums of Delhi in October 2011.
Asha is a development charity working in public health and education in the slums of Delhi.
Our group includes doctors, nurses and a physio. In the recent financial down turn Asha has lost funding for local doctors who visited the slum villages. Our aim is to go to train local staff and nurses with simple protocols just like our own teams use. We will also provide specialist clinics to slum dwellers with limited access to healthcare. Louise Dolan, Susan Archer and Anne Coxon along with colleagues from Queen Elizabeth Hospital will be working with these medical teams and hope to train them in sustainable skills.
Asha is also working to encourage young people to stay at school and has been supporting a group into college; an impressive way to provide them and their families with hope for the future. Daphne, Fiona, Matt, Annabel and Millie will work with the young people in slum villages helping them learn English and computor skills
We are funding our own trips and accomodation. We are looking to raise funds for Asha to employ more villages nurses and to take funding to support teenager's education
Please support us in this exciting project!
