ABOUT TejasAsia is an initiative meant to bring "practical hope fuelled by positive action" into the lives of street and slum children, teenagers under the influence of drugs and substance abuse, depressed youngsters, destitute women and others who need a meaning to life beyond existentialism." TejasAsia is a non-profit charity with its registered office in New Delhi. It's key focus is providing education to the marginalized and under-privileged, providing health care, food and nutrition to the malnourished street/slum children, rescuing children from the streets, protecting them from child labor and so on. There is a great emphasis given to empowering street single mothers, women and addicts. The heart of our mission is to give hope and a future to all. What started out as a dream in our minds has become the proponent of a fully fledged activity that has the potential to spiral into something this nation needs desperately. In July 2006, we took the opportunity to start feeding hundreds of street children, young adults and educating six days a week. We are now able to reach out to thousands of street and slum children in many of our outreach locations in New Delhi. Medical camps are also run on a regular basis. We are already seeing progress being made in the life of these children. Our future plans include starting programs for the handicapped and mentally challenged individuals and also a Centre for Learning Disabilities with the help of a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals. Our pipeline initiative also includes a youth helpline to manage the stress that they undergo in a fiercely competitive and unmerciful world. Team TejasAsia
