  “Asha” in Sanskrit means HOPE.
Hope that one day the artisans will be self-sufficient and able to sustain themselves
For development to take place in its entirety, Asha believes in approaches which stimulate the capability of the grassroots people and enhancing qualitative and holistic aspects of development. Asha is dedicated to helping artisans physically, financially, ecologically and socially through its Resource Center and interrelated programs.
The team of Asha's Welfare Workers are stationed at different traditional centers of
Indian crafts, working closely with the craftspersons and their families in skill-sharing and extending medical assistance and educational grants irrespective of their caste and creed. Asha also imparts technical training to artisans to increase their efficiency and productivity, and encourage the growth and development of cottage industries.
Asha Handicrafts believes that social development is an integral part of economic development of the artisans.
