What we Do

A number of children today are left abandoned, sometimes in helpless conditions. Bal Asha, a non-profit organization for children, works with local authorities and media to find a way to unite them with their biological parents. In most cases, the child is unable to find a way back home and in these cases, we care for them, until they find a new loving family.

Today, after more than 40 years, Bal Asha continues to put a lot of hard work, compassion, and patience in providing these children the best care, schooling, medical needs, and counseling so that they can eventually find a loving family one day. But it is a process that takes a lot of effort and commitment from skilled experts who believe in the cause. Like most small-scale NGOs, the genuine efforts of the team gets lost in today’s cluttered world with never-ending needs.

Our History

Mrs. Vira Jamshedji, her husband Late Mr. Jehangir Jamshedji and Ms. Shirin Barucha had a great & fervent vision – to be able to support abandoned, destitute children, battling difficult circumstances in Mumbai. It was from this noble desire that Bal Asha – Children’s Hope, was founded in 1985 and registered as a charitable trust. The organization’s mission was to provide abandoned children with a safe home and support any child in need with care.

Upon its conception, the first step was to start a clinic in Mazgaon, Mumbai. The clinic was a place where children from all communities could come for medical support and assistance. The trust started its children’s home programme in the year 1987 in King George V Memorial.

Late Mrs. Madhavi Karandikar joined the organization in the year 1989. A student of social work, she transformed Bal Asha from a child institute to an important stakeholder in the sector of child welfare in the country.

Today, Bal Asha Trust adheres to principles such as ethics, trust, integrity, and compassion for children incorporated in the management style of the organization by both Veera and Madhavi.
