Who We Are

Meet the team behind Ashia - the wellbeing streaming service

Why Ashia?

Ashia is of Arabic origin and is prevalent in African cultures, and means “life” and “hope.”

And that is what our streaming service is all about. Hope motivates us into taking positive actions which can lead to positive results. When we feel hopeful, we can tackle life’s problems and challenges in a way that improves our chances of success.

Our Purpose

“There comes a point where we need to just stop pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream to find out why they’re falling in.”

Inspired by this insightful quote from Desmond Tutu, Ashia from Raiys provides early wellbeing support for individuals and organisations – to prevent the small things becoming the big things.
