Team Asha : Asha For Education Seattle Chapter, Redmond, WA (2026)

I am Asha. We are Asha.

We volunteer for a cause.
We donate to bring hope through the education of underprivileged children in India.
We run/bike/swim/climb so they can read.

We are Asha; so a special needs child can hope to lead an independent life; so a AIDS orphaned child can grow up in a safe and nurturing environment; so a girl child orphaned by militancy in Kashmir can grow up to become an entrepreneur in the region and be a hope for others; so a rural government school can provide a better quality education.

This summer, work an hour for these children.

Arundathi comes from a poor family in Kanakapura, Karnataka. Her father worked as a daily laborer (mason) and her mother sold flowers. Until 5th grade, she attended the Hamsaveni Makkala Vidyamandira in Kanakapura and sold flowers in her neighborhood.

In a world of constant change, a Silver Jubilee is a rare and tremendous milestone. In 2016, Asha for Education (“Asha”) marked ours with both reflection and celebration.

ONGOING RUNNING GROUP WITH COACHING

Option 1 : Fundraising
You can train for a full or half marathon under the guidance of a certified Running Coach, while raising funds as low as $300 for Asha and you have the whole year to reach that target.

Option 2 : Subscription model to join the running group with Coaching.
If you choose to just run as a group and train for any big races, you can still join us and pick the 6 month subscription model for a monthly donation of $30 to Asha for Education.

If you want to get started with running or want to have a group to run with, under expert coach’s guidance, please contact us. Even Couch-to-5K programs offered by running stores are more expensive than that. Our goal is to not just train for a particular race but have a consistent running group all through the year, while we raise funds to support all the great work, our project partners do at the grassroots level. Join us and we will work 1:1 with you to reach your fitness goals.

PS: If you know someone who can benefit from this, please spread the word.
