Over 12% of the people in the world will go to bed hungry tonight. The poor farmers we serve are willing
to work hard, but they just need an opportunity to change their lives. Asha Partners helps meet both
immediate food needs and invests in sustainable food solutions for the future.

Who Knew That Working for Peanuts Would Yield so Much!

“For years I tried growing rice, jute, and other crops, but my field was not producing enough. These people helped me to test the soil, and we discovered that this field is great for growing peanuts. With the agricultural training I also received from this organization I’ve learned how to cultivate and tend the field for peanuts. With the micro-loan I received, this year I was able to produce enough income to feed my family the whole year.”

– Kasim, Farmer and Micro-loan Recipient

Amina’s Bumper Crop of Cucumbers

Amina had been growing rice for some time on the land she leased, but she and her family were still barely getting by. She couldn’t make much profit since everyone around her also grew rice.

Khadija’s Goat

Khadija’s husband became ill and was unable to provide for their family. She took out a micro-loan for her first goat. Within a year she paid back the loan and bought another goat while she sold the milk and raised their offspring.

With the money she made from the micro-loan investment she has been able to help support her family, including 3 children.

Fish farm

We believe in “teaching a man to fish” beyond just giving a fish for a day. Not only are our micro-loans sustainable solutions to poverty, our partner’s aquaculture fish farm system (growing fish in tanks) includes sustainable farming methods. Each aquaculture unit involves an efficient method for raising fish in a recirculating environment, which uses only 10% of the watered needed for traditional pond fishing.

With our fish hatchery, we are also making "fishers of man" as we provide millions of baby fish, or fingerlings, to local farmers while gaining the opportunity to share the good news with them as well. This meets a vital need in the communities we serve, as shortages of fish are common and provides an avenue for spiritual transformation.

Widow care program

Widows in poverty-stricken areas often have an especially hard life, as they frequently have difficulty providing for themselves. Our widow care program helps to meet immediate hunger needs and helps these women find long-term solutions to hunger as well, helping them to know they are not forgotten, but treasured by their Creator.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” – James 1:27

Get Involved

Contaminated water from one canal may be used for many purposes such as bathing themselves and their animals, washing clothes, cooking, irrigation, fishing, and waste disposal. Villagers we serve suffer from skin diseases, parasitic infections, tumors, arsenic poisoning, and other water related diseases.

GET INVOLVED

Close to 1/10th of the world’s population lives without clean water. As a result, thousands of children die
every day from issues caused by a lack of clean drinking water and adequate sanitation.

Clean Water Makes A Difference

When families and communities gain access to clean water, not only can health improve, but it also enables local economies to grow and
kids to spend more time in school. We are helping to provide individual water filters for families and investing in community water wells.

Can you imagine not having any clean water or toilets at your school? Boys and girls are left with the choice of using nearby bushes,
attempting to use a neighbor’s toilet, or just staying home from school altogether. With an investment of $10,000 in a school water project
we can bring safe, clean drinking water (a water well) and toilets to an elementary or secondary school for 500+ children.
