Asha Niketan Nandi Bazar community is located a village, near Kozhikode on the west shore of south of India. Started in August 1977 with Jayamithran as the first core member...
At Asha Niketans we engage the core members along with the assistants in a meaningful and therapuitic manner. The core members are involved in making a myriad of hand crafted materials. Every center is unique and so are the core members. Their interest and ability is gauged before they are assigned a project. They also change hands to different projects. This engagement boosts their confidence and develops self respect as they feel that they too are contributing to the society at large.
We care about privacy , and will never share your data.
