Ashiana Children's Foundation
Started in October 2022, at the heart of the Ashiana Children's Foundation (ACF) is a simple, powerful belief: every child deserves a voice, a smile, and the opportunity to thrive. Founded by Aariana ( with her little brother Ashneer), our mission is to provide life-changing support to young children with unique abilities, fostering a community of kindness and empowerment that extends far beyond aid.
Mission
To empower every child with a unique condition by providing the specialized resources and support needed to thrive, clear educational pathways, and achieve full inclusion. We maintain a dedicated commitment to transforming the lives of children facing hearing disabilities and cleft conditions.
Vision
The Ashiana Children's Foundation is more than a charity; it’s an inspiring journey driven by Aariana and Ashneer who believes that together, we can promote kindness and empowerment. We are building a future where every child with a unique ability is recognized for their potential, not their challenge.
Digital Education Drive
The first fundraiser that Aariana did after promoting my newly launched book "Vedic Mathematics Reimagined" was towards support for digital education in rural schools in India. She channeled all the book sales towards raising $1000 to support the digital education initiative in the elementary school in Manora Wasim in the state of Maharashtra in India. The funds were used to setup the infrastructure (smart TV , PC and printer) to support the initiative for kids in grade 1 - 4.
The school also has students with special needs (Down Syndrome) and some funds were directed to support those students economically towards their therapies.
Food Donation Drive
In 2023, to mark the celebration of 1st year birthday for my little brother Ashneer, my parents help me arrange for a food donation drive at the Shri Shradhanand Anathalay (orphanage) in Nagpur Maharashtra to for a whole week of meals sponsored from our foundation
Cleft Lip Surgery Sponsorship
In 2024 while on a road-trip during our India vacation, we came across a 2 year little boy, "Adhiraj" in the rural town of Jalicha Dev, Maharashtra, India. He was struggling in his daily life due to challenges around his cleft lip and palate. He was orphaned by his parents due to his cleft and was been taken care by temple authorities in the town. Our foundation sponsored his cleft lip surgery and today the little Adhiraj is flourishing
Hearing Aids donation
A little girl Thea based in Coimbatore, India was looking for a pair of hearing aids to be donated so she could have access to sounds before her cochlear implant surgery. The pair of hearing aids donated by Aariana not only helped her navigate the sound , but further were donated to another little boy in Mumbai who is enjoying the different sounds in the world through the hearing aids. Along with donating the hearing aids, our foundation also donated a little amount for Thea's cochlear implant surgery
