MJASHA:
Mjasha have been working to help the poor of the Dhaka slums for more than 15 years. Beginning with rescue work amongst young street girls of the Gulshan area of the city, Asha has progressively educated many hundreds of illiterate teenagers, provided workshops and training in hand craft skills and supported families through flooding, ill health and loss. In recent years our work has concentrated on helping the young women and mothers of the project to respond to the needs and demands of their generation and the local community around them. We now have two Workshops producing quality handcrafts and embroideries. As well as providing a safe alternative for the employment of young women, and especially mothers with children, these workshops help to provide an income for girls of working age.
We also run a series of School Classes to give basic education to local slum children, plus Coaching Classes and Computer Classes for local teenage girls in full time education, and provide a Playgroup for workers children, All these enterprises take place within our own Asha Literacy Centre and are entirely staffed by our own young women. We also have an expanding work amongst adult women of the slum in the form of Literacy Classes and Health Counselling. We are training more educators to cope with the huge demand. Most recently we have begun to seek Schools Sponsorships for girls, and a few boys, whom Literacy Centre staff have picked out as needy and keen to learn. We sponsor and support these local children directly by paying school fees and subsistence to enable them to attend local state schools. We run a support scheme alongside this and many of them continue to attend our Coaching Classes after school.

THE KANJI PROJECT:
The Kanji Project is a small UK registered charity which aims to advance education and relieve poverty in India. With the superb efforts of some very determined, caring and capable people in India and the UK, the Kanji Project has flourished from its humble roots in a one-room hut school and dormitory in 1996. It now has a purpose built school for up to 1500 pupils, St Anthony’s; a children’s home, Shanthi Lumin; offers vital medical assistance to some of the most destitute and needy in their communities and supports other projects that impact positively by improving the lives of so many children and their families in Kanji and its surrounds. We are pleased to announce that the Kanji Project are now sourcing and selling some of our products in the UK to help them raise much needed funds. This is one of many projects that the Indian Connection is proud to be financially supporting in 2014. We hope that you too may be inspired to sponsor a child, donate or offer any other practical assistance you can to help the Kanji Project in their work.
