Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Homeless & Housing, International, International Development
Mission: Primary exempt purpose - american society for international shanti (asis) is a not-for-profit for the purpose of helping the poorest and neediest children and elderly, and the forgotten destitute, with the basic human needs: food, shelter, medical services and educational assistance.
Programs: Operation shanti's project home is a standalone children's home that provides long-term living, in a family-like setting, for between 40 and 50 street and slum children (from all religions, castes and backgrounds), ranging in age from three to eighteen. Currently, 50% are male and 50% are female, and two are hiv+. Project home provides excellent education, medical assistance, food and nutrition, extracurricular activities, social services and love and care to its children, all in an environment supporting the family structure. Our goal is to see these children through school/professional training so they can be productive and thoughtful adults, and contribute to their communities and families. Project street provides regular assistance to destitute women and men living on the streets of mysore. Project food & more provides monthly care packages to 50+ poor children who have been orphaned by hiv, and financial and other regular assistance for medical care to destitute children, men, and women living with hiv/aids.
