Asha Trust (Sri Lanka)

About the charity

Asha Trust supports community workers in challenging situations in Sri Lanka. These inspirational workers are bringing about lasting change in their communities. They run day centres for pre-school children, young people's programmes, women's groups, credit unions and elders projects. 

The level of need here is high. Housing is often basic and securing work is a constant struggle - many people earn less than £1 per day. Asha seeks to improve people's life chances and increase their capacity to solve their own problems.
