About Work An Hour
Each year, people from around the world come together in a demonstration of great human spirit, to help educate underprivileged children in India. Work An Hour, orWAH, as it is popularly known, is a summer-long, global, online fundraising campaign based on a simple concept: “Donors are requested to symbolically Work An Hour towards the cause of children’s education by donating an hour’s worth or more of their salary.”
Timeline
This year, the event begins on July 15 and concludes on September 15 spanning through India’s Independence Day on August 15 and Teachers’ Day on September 5.
How does it work?
Twenty projects across Asha are showcased in this year’s Work an Hour. Donors have the ability to give to a project of their choice.
Asha’s project partners selected for WAH support, typically require larger sums of money, more than what a single Asha chapter can raise, in order to facilitate fixed expenditure on items such as infrastructure, construction and other one-time costs and recurring expenses. WAH aims to help such projects by this worldwide campaign to raise funds across all projects.
All Asha projects are closely monitored by Asha project coordinators to ensure that the funds are being properly utilized and the proposed benefits are actually being realized by the children in the project.
