Aseema Charitable Trust is a Mumbai-based NGO dedicated to realising human potential through high-quality, value-based education for children from marginalised communities. Since 1997, Aseema has worked at the intersection of education, child rights, and social justice, impacting over 10,000 children through its programmes.
For children from underserved urban and rural communities, quality education is often out of reach. In tribal areas, education is rarely a priority — many children are first-generation learners, and girls are especially vulnerable to early marriage and dropping out. Aseema seeks to change this narrative.
By partnering with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), Aseema manages three municipal schools and 12 Balwadis in some of the city’s most disadvantaged areas, providing consistent, joyful learning from pre-primary to Standard X. In rural Maharashtra, Aseema’s school in Igatpuri offers holistic education to children of farmers and daily wage earners.
Aseema’s approach goes beyond academics — nurturing students emotionally, socially, and creatively. Today, girls who were once at risk of child marriage are pursuing careers in medicine, arts, and education. Aseema’s mission is to break the cycle of poverty and build a more just and compassionate world — one child at a time.

Appeal

Your support holds the power to transform lives.
At Aseema, we believe that every child—regardless of background—deserves access to high-quality, value-based, holistic education. For children from marginalised communities, education is not just a right; it is their path to dignity, opportunity, and a future full of promise.
With your help, we nurture not just minds, but hearts and dreams. Our children grow in an environment where learning is joyful, meals are nourishing, health is prioritised, and emotional well-being is supported. We stand by our students even after they graduate—helping them pursue higher education and break the cycle of poverty that has bound their families for generations.
Today, over 3,600 children in our Mumbai and Igatpuri schools benefit from this support. Through our 12 adopted balwadis in MCGM schools, we are also laying strong educational foundations in early childhood.
