People & Testimonials
The Aseema family includes our children and their parents, dedicated staff and teachers, committed volunteers, our trustees and advisors and our generous donors whose support makes the work we do possible. Each member of the Aseema family is an integral part of the organization, at the heart of which lies our children.
Our work is entirely about the children with the focus being quality, rather than numbers and statistics. The children are our ‘raison-d’etre’ or our reason for being and all that we do stems from that belief.
Children & Communities
The children at Aseema, like all children, are intelligent, eager and full of curiosity. They are also extremely vulnerable and at risk because of the environment they live in. Their homes – mostly unauthorised structures made of tin or plastic sheets – face the threat of being demolished quite frequently. Their slum communities grapple with illness, violence and abuse. The insecurity created by such an environment affects children the most. In the midst of all this, however, you will often see bright young faces laughing with abandon. This image symbolises so much of what our children are –hopeful, happy and full of promise.
Donors
Over the years, our donors have quietly and consistently supported the work we do. They comprise of large corporate houses, trusts, individual philanthropists, and even some children. They come to us expecting high quality and results, and stay on by becoming members of our family and patrons of our work.
Staff and Volunteers
The staff at Aseema comprises of about 295 people, including teachers, social workers, counsellors, helpers and administrators. While many of them hold degrees in education, social work and other fields, all of them have a commitment to the work and believe in the limitless potential of our children. They are supported by an able team of volunteers comprising of professionals, former teachers, home makers and students.
Trustees & Advisors
Aseema’s work is led by a team of five trustees with the guidance of a board of eminent advisors. They bring with them qualifications and experience from varied fields of work and share a common belief in the cause Aseema strives towards.
