AASHISH FOUNDATION
Working to empower families of the differently abled
Aashish Residential Project.
The latest project of the Foundation stems from the concerns of the Trustees about the long term, future care of persons with Special Needs. The Foundation is determined in its effort and envisions the creation of a facility that will replicate lifestyles, loving care and the companionship of like minded friends, when parents are no more. To ensure the care, safety and happiness of children with special needs, Aashish Foundation is seting up a professionally run and managed home amidst the sylvan locale of Panvel which will provide life long care. In addition, Educational, Vocational, Recreational, Social and devotional activities and programs will be administered by qualified and supportive staff.
The home will be managed by the parent trustees at no profit basis and professionally run by a team of dedicated staff including administrators, house mothers, therapists, teachers, and caretakers.
