Ashray Samiti was born in 2010 — not as an organisation, but as a question. What happens to children who never make it past Class 5 or 6? What happens to girls told their place is at home? Or to boys forced to earn before they could dream?
We began with beautician training for girls. Plumbing and welding for boys. For a few years, it changed many lives. Then, life paused. We moved cities. The work goes on.
Ashray Samiti started with simple skill-building programs for dropout children and underserved girls. From beautician training to welding, we planted the first seeds of hope and dignity.
Our work expanded across new areas. We deepened our presence, held regular training, and earned the trust of communities that needed steady support.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we shifted to full crisis response — distributing essentials, supporting learning, and staying present when it mattered most.
Today, we focus on lasting change through open-school education, ₹300 skill courses, and green campaigns — staying rooted in purpose, step by step.
We exist because too many children leave school with no way back.
Because a skill course can mean food on the table.
Because a mother’s name deserves more than just memory.
We are here for those who were told “ab kuch nahi ho sakta” —
to remind them: everything is still possible.
A society where dropping out doesn’t mean being forgotten. Where education, skill, and dignity are not privileges — but quiet rights. Where even the most paused life has a path back.
To create safe, affordable spaces for school dropouts, under-skilled youth, and marginalised women — where they can complete their education, learn livelihood skills, and rebuild their confidence.
Every count you see below isn’t just a statistic — it’s a student who returned, a woman who stood tall, a tree that remembers a mother.
At Ashray Samiti, our impact is real.
Every kind word here is a reflection of the work we continue on the ground — with heart, consistency, and purpose.
