  10. Matrichaya – Funding Needs

  11. Matrichaya – • The main goal aligns with that of Asha’s – to fund basic education. • Matrichayahopes to reach self-sustenance over the next 5 years through their micro-credit programs, which have 2% of the loans going toward a pool for the maintenance of the schools. This program is currently not large enough to support these schools. • Supporting Matrichaya in the interim period even as it strives for self sufficiency, could meet Asha’s aim to support such initiatives.
