Asha Deep is situated at Nadi Hattarga village in the district of Latur. On 30 September 1993 there was an earthquake and Latur was at the epicentre. Fifty-two villages were destroyed and the damage to life and property was catastrophic. SHM rushed to the site and collaborated with organisations like Caritas India in the relief work. In time the relief teams moved from the place but SHM remained to help the broken and shattered to rebuild their lives.

​

In 1994 a community was formed. The sisters formed self-help groups and introduced government schemes and projects to uplift and empower the people. They started a residential home for school dropout girls and women in crisis. The girls receive an education (grihini) and the centre helps to protect them from early marriages and human trafficking. The sisters also conduct coaching classes for children and regularly organise income generating projects and training for women and men to help them become self-reliant.
