ASHIC FAQs

Here are some basic frequently asked questions about ASHIC

Does it cost the families to be a member of ASHIC Foundation?

No. ASHIC is a fully non-profit organization and does not charge any subscription fees to its members.

Are there other payments involved in availing the ASHIC services?

In almost all cases, no. However, a nominal fee is charged for additional family members other than the primary guardian staying at the ASHIC Shelter. The same principle applies to participation at the Annual Outing Programs i.e. the service is completely free for the patients and their parents. Additional family members are welcome (as long as there are seats available) but they will have to pay their costs.

Any charges that are applicable are all calculated at cost. ASHIC makes no profit from any of these charges.

Is ASHIC funded by the government?

No, we started with funding from the Choudhury family and then opened up to community groups, small and large businesses, private foundations and individual donors.

To date, the Choudhury family bears all the office expenses, while all donations are contributed towards development of ASHIC Projects and/ or towards an individual child.

Can anyone contribute to ASHIC?

ASHIC is happy to accommodate the desires of any contributor, be it in cash or in kind. A benefactor can choose to support any one of the ASHIC programs, or contribute towards the general fund so that the money can be used to develop future programs. Volunteers are also always welcome. Please go to Donate for further details.

If I am not in Bangladesh, but would like to support ASHIC, what do I do?

If you are looking to make a cash donation, foreign donors are encouraged to contact the ASHIC office so that we can explore the cheapest way to transfer funds. ASHIC’s commitment is to use as much of the funds directly towards the children as possible.
