What We Do
We're here for you 24/7
At AshaKiran, we believe in the resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassion to transform lives. As a nonprofit that helps victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, our mission is rooted in providing free, nonsectarian, and trauma-informed services and education to communities throughout Alabama.
Through empathy and empowerment, our Direct Service Team helps survivors of trauma navigate their journey toward healing and hope. By combining direct care with our community Outreach Team, we ensure that every survivor’s journey is met with understanding and dignity.
Our Outreach Team strives to build a healthy and harmonious community. We understand that through community education and outreach initiatives, we can create a space where every individual feels seen, valued, and supported. Awareness is often the first step in addressing these crimes in our community.
