How does Asha select projects?
1. We usually hear about projects through mail or word-of-mouth. Asha works with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have no political or religious affiliations. We screen the projects rigorously through correspondence and site visits. 2. We approve projects for the funds that we have on hand, in other words, we don’t promise what we don’t have and cannot deliver. 3. To receive fund the receiving agency needs to have an FCRA clearance (Foreign Contributions Regulatory Act 1996). We provide documents needed to secure this clearance once we have evaluated and approved this project. After sending the funds, we regularly monitor the progress through periodic written reports and annual site visits.
