Buy or help us to market our handicraft
In the handicraft centre of Ashalayam, children learn how to produce quality products; card painting, candle making, leather goods, etc. At the end of each month, children will receive a "salary" depending on how much handicraft they have produced. This income is then saved in a bank account, to help acquire a plot of land, buy a machine or build a house. We call it a saving scheme, and the objective is to develop a sense of personal responsibility and instil saving habits.

By buying our handicraft, you will directly contribute to this saving scheme.

Sponsor a child or a home

 
  Did you ever think of sponsoring one of our children or a home ? With a monthly contribution (please contact one of the support groups in Europe for more details), your "child" will get shelter, food, clothing and education. This will directly contribute to his social and professional rehabilitation. You will receive his/her story and picture, and you will be able to send letters. On his side, the child will reply you and send you drawings. You can also sponsor a home and contribute to its operational expenses.

 
 

Make a donation

  We totally depend on your support. A simple action can be enough to accommodate and provide education to a child during months. Ashalayam counts on you and your support for it's constant fight for the street children. A donation can be financial or material.

 
 

Sponsor a specific project

  This way you can help us for specific needs: renewal of kitchen equipment, new bedding for the children, new school books, supply of clothes, family research

 
 

Voluntary work for the association

  Join our association and help us in organising conferences and presentations of our slide show, speak about Ashalayam around you, make your friends aware of the cause of street children, help us to market our handicraft.
