Ashley Rising believes women and children made vulnerable by a life context of violence, abuse, oppression, inequality, drug and alcohol addiction, poverty and/or homelessness are at particular risk of not being able to reach personal goals. Our mission shall be to remove obstacles and create opportunities for women and children to be able to achieve their goals. Our vision is a world in which each woman and child is able to achieve her personal, familial, social, and professional aspirations free from the constraints of such limiting factors as poverty, substance use, physical violence, emotional abuse, poverty, inequality, and oppression. Our purpose shall be to partner with or provide funding to enhance or expand women-centered agencies and organizations, especially where such services are largely limited or unavailable, to help these women and their children become self-sufficient, contributing members of their communities. We will engage with local, national, and international organizations who support our mission and are already integral and viable parts of their local communities and/or establish organizations to provide services which may include, but are not limited to, comprehensive physical health, mental health, and social services; education, job-training skills, and employment; and research.

We strive towards providing health care, education and employment opportunities for all our village communities, thereby restoring a balance of opportunity and quality of life. An imbalance exists between cities and villages in India. The best health care and medical facilities are available in the cities. However, 75 percent of India's population lives in villages. Unemployment, poverty and lack of adequate facilities for health and education drive ambitious young people to the cities in search of jobs and a better standard of living. This migration drains the energy of the villages while simultaneously putting additional strain on the resources of the cities.
