Our friends around the world put huge amounts of effort and creativity into fundraising for Aishworya.
We are so grateful to them and we would love it if you wanted to fundraise for us too!
Have a look below at what some of our friends and family have done before to get an idea of what you might do.
We always support people fundraising for us in every way we can – email us for more information!
Pete playing football with the kids when he visited in 2014

In November 2018 Pete Lewis set up an online Crowdfunder with the JustGiving website.
He asked friends and family to sponsor him to eat nothing but dal bhat – that’s rice and lentils – just like the children here at Aishworya, to raise money for the older children’s education.

SMILE expands on classroom learning and encourages critical-thinking, problem-solving and teamwork skills

Thanks to American volunteers Capucine, Iris, Stanford University’s Professor Kim and his assistant Wilson, our children are enhancing their education with the use of smart devices and Stanford University’s SMILE app.

Capucine took us on a field trip to The Garden of Dreams when she volunteered in 2016

Capucine has also set up a sponsorship programme. Supporters can sponsor a child by covering the annual cost of care and schooling.
