Constructive action that brings about positive and sustaining change.
AVANI’S programs include a children’s home for girls, study classes in the slums, online education and mobile libraries for children living in the waste picker slum communities. During the COVID-19 national wide lockdown affected businesses causing many of them to shut down. Jobs were lost. The Kolhapur floods in July 2021 affected thousands of people. During times of crisis, AVANI quickly mobilizes their staff and resources and assists the destitute and deprived sections by distributing food and providing hygiene kits to anyone in need. Since 1994, Avani has rescued and prepared over 78,000 deprived children and admitted them into school throughout the 03 Districts we work in the state of Maharashtra.
