One Man, a Parking Lot, and a Hundred Dreams!

If you ever walk past a certain corner of the city you’ll hear something unexpected.  Not the honking of cars or the chaos of traffic, but the sound of tiny voices reciting the alphabet. Laughter over maths tables. Curious questions. Hope.

Surprisingly,  these children aren’t sitting in a classroom. They’re on the concrete floor of a parking lot. No fans, no blackboards, no chairs. Just worn-out mats, plastic stools, and one man who refuses to give up.

That man is Vipul Jain.

Years ago, Vipul Jain used to walk past street corners filled with children dirty, barefoot, exhausted. Some knocked on car windows. Others carried trays of roses or washed windshields with dirty cloth. Their innocence is buried under the weight of adult responsibilities.

These were not scenes from a movie. This was the everyday reality of hundreds of children.
Children who had never stepped into a school.  Children whose futures were being stolen by poverty before they even knew how to spell the word.

Vipul Jain couldn’t look away. He couldn’t forget their faces. He couldn’t forget the child who tried to sell him a balloon instead of playing with one. Or the little girl carrying her baby brother instead of a schoolbag.

One day, he stopped and asked them a question “Do you want to study?” Dozens of little heads nodded, some unsure, some shy. But not one said no.

That day, the Asha Kiran Foundation was born. Not with money. Not with big sponsors.
But with a promise: If no one else will teach them, I will.

He started with 5 children and a few books. No infrastructure. No support. Just one heart full of belief and a borrowed whiteboard.

Today, that number has grown to over 100 children! They no longer beg, they dream.
They want to become teachers, police officers, artists, nurses. And every single day, they show up, ready to learn on torn mats, in harsh weather, with empty stomachs but hearts full of hope.

Vipul Jain has given everything he has. He even manages their meals, uniforms, notebooks, pens, hygiene kits, and sometimes even medical care. But there’s only so much one person can do.

Because despite everything, they still don’t have a proper school. They still sit on hard concrete, exposed to dust, noise, and rain. When it pours, the classes stop. The dreams pause.

But this dream can continue and you have the power in your hands. A chance to give these children what every child deserves.Today, Vipul Jain stands with tired hands but an unshaken heart. He’s done everything he could. Now, he’s asking: Will you help him carry this dream forward?

Support the Asha Kiran Foundation. Support the children who believed when the world didn’t. Let’s build them a classroom… before the next rain washes away another lesson.
Let’s give them a real roof… before another child drops out because the parking lot became too hot, too wet, too unsafe.

They have hope. They have courage. All they need now… is you. Donate today.
