Welcome to Adventure Ashram

The Adventure Ashram project stems from the shared vision of a group of well-respected health and educational professionals in India and the UK based social enterprise Global Enduro. The Adventure part of the project's title comes from the company Global Enduro who run many spectacular adventure fundraising events across the globe. The Ashram part of the name derives from the ancient word for ‘protection’ in Sanskrit – the source of Latin and the oldest language on earth, Sanskrit is still spoken in some parts of India. It also represents what Adventure Ashram set out to create and is an acronym for: Action for Social Health in Rural Areas.

Global Enduro runs several large-scale motorcycle and car rallies in India, Africa and Italy. These events support good causes such as The Rainbow Trust Children's Charity, The World Wildlife Fund (WWF), The World Conservation Society (WCS) and Riders for Health.

In addition to supporting these good causes Global Enduro is starting a project of its own which initially will receive funds from the Enduro India and Karma Enduro events. As this project matures we hope to receive ‘matched funding’ from Indian Government and businesses.

Our initial aim is to help the poorest people of the Palani Hill range to a higher standard of living through better health and education. As the project matures and succeeds we will move into different areas, helping more and more people year on year. If you're poor in India health and education are very hard to come by - and You can help, please read on.

The need for proper medical facilities in these outlying villages is very strongly felt as some of these villages are 30 - 40 kilometres by road from the nearest hospital and, in such extreme terrain without any transport, in many cases this is 40 kilometres too far..."
