Story

Every morning, as the city wakes up, hundreds of children set out—not to school, but to the dumping yards. Barefoot and carrying sacks almost as tall as themselves, these children spend their days sifting through garbage, exposed to filth, infections, and dangerous substances. Deprived of education and forced into hazardous work, many of them turn to substance abuse just to endure the hardships of their daily lives.

Adwait and Pranali, a well-educated couple from Maharashtra couldn’t stand by and watch. They believed that education was the key to breaking this vicious cycle and founded, Vardhishnu Social Research & Development Society. Today they are the only bright light in the lives of hundreds of such kids. 

But without your support, the couple can not continue their crucial work. Support them now. Donate generously.

Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. 

Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).

“A child rag-picker, 5 or 6 years of age, leaves home at 4:30 AM after having tea and roti. From morning till afternoon, they collect garbage with their mothers. Many times, we have seen them walk barefoot in the dumping yards,” says Pranali. Determined to change this reality, they started Anand Ghar—a safe learning space where these children could study, play, and simply be children again.

What can your donation do?

What started as a small initiative in 2014 has now grown to five learning centers, reaching over 300 children. Here, kids who were once trapped in a cycle of poverty, neglect, and substance abuse are now getting an education, healthcare, and hope for a better future. 

But this vital work is at risk. “If we are unable to get funds, not only will we be unable to reach more kids, we might not be able to work with even the 300 or 350 kids we have with us currently,” Pranali warns.

These children deserve a chance—a chance to learn, to grow, and to break free from a life they never chose. Your support can make all the difference. Your donation will help provide

  • Education 
  • Learning materials
  • Healthcare and hygiene support
  • A safe space away from the dangers of rag-picking

You have the power to lift these children out of the dumping yards and into classrooms. Donate now and help us rewrite their future.
