Will
ASHA ever have partnership with corporate
India?
Yes, we would like to work with anybody.
The only reason why we have limited ourselves
to ASHA generated funds is because it
gives us a freedom to do what we want.We
have this philosophy that any grassroots
work must be determine by the needs of
the people, by the people themselves and
preferably done by the people in the local
area. It should not happen that the agency
providing the funds should determine the
nature of the programme to be implemented.
This
is one of the reasons where we have
not gone to the government or funding
agencies. If the funding agencies are
sensitive to the needs of the people
then we are open to work with anybody.
Lack of funds has never being bottle
neck for us. The real bottle neck is
good activists at the grassroots level.
Resources you can always mobilize.
