My Nonprofit Reviews

Operation ASHA is one of the world’s largest NGOs dedicated to bringing lifesaving tuberculosis (TB) treatment and other forms of healthcare to underserved communities. Through volunteering here, we’ve had the opportunity to see how this organization functions and witness the real, positive impact it’s had on people’s lives.

We realized that Operation ASHA has seen so much success in its treatment program because of the dedicated people working behind it. The importance of having devoted, human advocates to back any kind of technology is critical in social development work. Without this factor, the technology has a higher risk of failing its purpose.

Something else Operation ASHA prioritizes is the education of these underserved communities revolving around matters of the disease. Educating populations about tuberculosis serves the purposes of reducing stigma, recognizing symptoms, and knowing when to seek help.

Through these measures, and more, Operation ASHA has found great success in treating over 75,000 cases of TB, effectively serving a population of more than 15.6 million. The organization overall does great work in dedicating time to a very necessary cause.
