Impact & evidence
Numbers that carry names.
We measure what matters — not just reach, but change. Here is what six years of focused work has built.
What we’ve built
A system of support — not just a service
CAS doesn't run one-off events. Everything we build is designed to compound — each programme feeding the next, each community connection becoming a channel for more support. Six years of sustained, intentional work has produced a network of change that reaches far beyond any single number.

What’s next
The road ahead
India still lacks a national caregiver policy. The CareAsha App is still reaching its first million users. The ToT network is still expanding across South Asia. Six years of evidence has given us the credibility and the roadmap — now we scale.
The next phase of CAS work is about depth and breadth in equal measure: more caregivers reached, more trainers enabled, more policy conversations where India's caregivers are finally in the room.
- National caregiver policy campaign 2025–26
- Expand ToT network: India, Nepal, Indonesia + more
- CareAsha enhanced with AI features
- Research partnership with academic institutions
- Act to Action Summer Camp 2026
Evidence in hand. A system to build.
Six years of impact gives us the foundation. What happens next depends on who stands with us. Join the movement building a caregiver-first India.
