MY APPEAL

I am thrilled to share with you an exciting project that Astha is embarking upon – the establishment of India's First Wheelchair Tennis Academy, 'The Deuce Tennis Centre.' This initiative aims to provide individuals with physical disabilities the chance to participate in the sport of tennis, fostering not only physical well-being but also mental resilience and a sense of community.

The Deuce Tennis Centre will serve as a hub for wheelchair tennis enthusiasts, providing world-class coaching, state-of-the-art facilities, and a supportive environment for athletes to hone their skills. Our vision is to create a platform where individuals with disabilities can engage in competitive sports, challenging societal norms, and inspiring others to pursue their passions without limitations.

To bring this vision to life, we are seeking the support of generous donors like you. Your contribution will play a crucial role in funding the construction of The Deuce Tennis Centre, acquiring specialized equipment, and supporting the training programs for wheelchair tennis athletes. By supporting this project, you will not only be promoting inclusivity in sports but also contributing to the overall well-being and empowerment of individuals with disabilities.

We would be honored to have your support for this groundbreaking project. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of those who often face societal barriers and enable them to pursue their dreams with dignity and pride.

Thank you for considering our appeal. Together, we can create a more inclusive and empowering future for individuals with disabilities through the joy of tennis

RAISING FUNDS FOR

ASTHA

Before a constraint shows up in the world it first shows up in the human mind and eventually exists in the agreements that are formed. The fundamental barrier for people is, this agreement, that there are only a limited set of possibilities for people with disabilities. This challenge cannot be addressed in the same realm of thinking that has gotten us where we are. It requires new thinking. Astha’s work enables people with disabilities, their friends, family and society at large to think beyond the box of socially constructed norms regarding disability and abilities of persons with disabilities.

Exploring potential, living joyously, living a life of complete participation is not even a dream for most people with disabilities.

Astha's work is inspired by the motto "newly possible" for every project we plan. This motto guides us to ignite the dreams of a growing number of people with disabilities in India.

Astha's work focuses on building an inclusive ecosystem in India within which persons with disabilities are equally contributing members along side their non-disabled peers.

Astha's work creates increasing opportunities for interaction among the disabled and non-disabled people living in India. This approach enhances opportunities for both the groups to know one another better. This approach blurs the boundaries between the two groups to a degree such that engagement between them is rooted in joy, satisfaction, and growth.

Astha's work empowers persons with disabilities to lead a life of their dreams by using sports as a tool for development and by improving education opportunities among Indians with disabilities. More importantly, Astha's work also focuses on improving voting rights of Indian with disabilities.

Discovering challenges, creating solutions and managing delivery of these solutions are themes Astha follows while choosing projects.
