Asha for Education – Toledo Chapter

Asha means “Hope” in many Indian languages. Asha Toledo was started with this motto at heart to extend a ray of hope to the underprivilaged in India by illuminating their minds, thoughts and lives through the foundation of education.

Asha Toledo Chapter is a non-profit organization and also an active Student Group at the University of Toledo. It is a completely volunteer driven organization, comprising of dedicated individuals from the University of Toledo and the Greater Toledo Area, striving to create awareness in our local community and make a difference in the Indian society. We believe that education is one of the primary factors in shaping a child’s, youths and adults future and by extension, future of the entire country.

Asha Toledo Chapter works towards promoting the education of underprivileged children in India by providing financial assistance and support to individual schools and NGOs focused on education projects at the grass root level. Volunteers of Asha work closely with the project partners in India, while locally organizing fundraisers and community awareness events. Ragalahari, a popular event in the Toledo Area, is Asha Toledo’s primary fundraiser, which directly helps support several education projects in India. Event started in 2004, and has grown to a large event today with continual efforts of its volunteers, community, University of Toledo and the support of patrons.
