ASHA in Sanskrit means "Hope" and Asha brought hope into what was largely a "hopeless" situation by providing a marketing outlet to the actual craftsperson. From the beginning, Asha's thrust has been the development of the craftsperson in his natural environment through various development projects designed to meet the needs and standards of overseas markets. Asha today assists directly and indirectly over 103 producer groups and 5,000 craftspersons.
