ASHA
The Ray of Hope


"ASHA - the ray of hope" is thus an initiative of rashtraseva under which, initially we have taken up to work with Kisan Gopal Rajpuriya Vanaprashtashram an old-age home in Uttan, Bhayendar run by Vasant Smruti Trust. At ASHA, we believe that the elderly generation is a potential and productive section of the society and not the burden to the society and that, given the right opportunities; they can not only be self-sufficient to a greater extent but also can contribute constructively towards society's development. The activities carried out by rashtraseva aim at building on in the area of mental health, physical health of the inmates of this home in accordance with the various health related issues and concerns expressed by them. It also aims at indulging the elderly in various possible productive activities so as to improve their level of self esteem and dignity in the society as well as attain the peace of mind.
Goal:
To contribute to the holistic development and happy living of the old-aged persons by making direct inputs towards more professional management of the home.
Objectives:
- To regularly assess the present mental health status of the inmates and give inputs for improvement in their mental health.
- To provide guidance to the inmates on taking care of their physical health by using more relevant and feasible techniques and methods like Yoga.
- To assist in effective running and management of the home by strategically channelizing the expertise of our volunteers/ members.
- To develop professionalism in the management of the home.
