Strides of Hope

The SOH program has been initiated with the intent to provide volunteers and supporters of Asha Austin an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of Indian children. Runners, while benefiting from the experience of a running program, also raise funds to help Asha Austin to achieve the following core objectives:

  • To provide education for underprivileged children in India.
  • To encourage the formation of various local groups, both in India and U.S., to reach out to larger sections of the population.
  • To support and cooperate with persons and groups already engaged in similar activities to achieve the group objectives.
  • To provide an opportunity for individuals based in the U.S. who wish to participate in Asha activities in India.
  • To address, whenever possible, other issues affecting human life such as health care, environment, socio-economic change, and women’s issues.
