Asha International was started in 2002 with a vision to reach underserved communities with the love of Christ. Asha means "hope" in Hindi. We are committed to providing hope to individuals in India and other parts of the world by ministering to physical and spiritual needs and communicating Christ's love. The founding members of Asha International have seen people benefited from the projects already begun in India by the Bethany Trust. This was the driving force behind a vision to establish an organization in the United States that can support these projects and begin new projects, with our primary goal to demonstrate Christian love to underserved communities.
