Story

Dear Supporter,

 

Thank you for visiting Asha for Education's (London) fundraising page. The London chapter is happy to announce the selection of "Timbaktu Collective" as the chapter's "Work an Hour" project for 2007.

Work An Hour, or WAH as it is popularly known, is a simple concept. We invite and request you to symbolically contribute one hour (or more) of your working wages towards the education of underprivileged children in India.

The Timbaktu Collective is based in the drought prone district of Anantpur in Andhra Pradesh, South India. Its objective is to make a lasting improvement in the lives of the people of the area. The Collective encourages the practice of permaculture (a sustainable and eco-friendly form of agriculture), organizes women's 'sangams' to deal with problems faced by women and runs an alternative education program for children. The latter is our focus.

 

Further details about this project are available at http://www.ashanet.org/projects/project-view.php?p=204

 

Please donate generously towards a fantastic project, and an agent in the process of socio economic change for the better. 

Donating online through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Asha for Education and in turn Timbaktu will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

We thank you for your support and sincerely appreciate your donation.
