Operations in India were set up in 2005, at the time the campaign focused on protecting livelihoods of hawkers and small traders. We are hoping to start work in Chennai and Kolkata soon.
ACORN Foundation India stands strong and proud on four R's. Reduce, Recycle, Reuse and Respect. The ACORN Foundation India Trust organizes ragpickers and train them in scientific methods of waste handling, segregation and recycling. "We want to highlight their work in protection of the environment," says Vinod Shetty of the Acorn Foundation. "We want the government to set up a board whereby polluters pay a cess of about one per cent which can go towards giving these ragpickers a proper income with safe equipment like gloves and other amenities. We want them to be trained in how to handle toxic waste and expertise in recycling goods in a non-hazardous way."

Akanksha Foundation
The Akanksha Foundation was started in 1991 with a simple idea - To deliver a high quality education to each child, no matter his or her background.
At the age of 18, when she was in college, Shaheen Mistri realized that there were thousands of children who didn’t have access to quality education. She and a few of her classmates came together to address this issue by volunteering their time teaching these children. Shaheen started the first Akanksha Centre at a classroom donated at the Holy Name High School in Colaba. The Centre started with 15 students and one teacher. In the next 16 years, Akanksha set up 60 after-school centres in under-utilized spaces, each staffed with professional teachers, volunteers, and social workers at the service of more than 3,000 underprivileged children. Recognizing the need to work with government schools to achieve impact at greater scale, Akanksha began the School Project in 2007 in collaboration with the Municipal Corporations of Mumbai and Pune. The project aims to create a scalable school model within the government system that drives wider systemic reform in education. Today, Akanksha’s network has grown to 20 schools in Mumbai and Pune. Since 1991, Akanksha has grown from an organisation of student volunteers to a professional institution with over 700 staff, teachers and volunteers with a mission to provide educational opportunities to less privileged children.
APNALAYA
Apnalaya, Our Space in English, is a non-profit organization, founded in 1973. We work with the most marginalized people living in highly under-served slums of Mumbai.
To realize a sustainable change in an under-served community where socio-economic issues are complex and interconnected, we employ an Integrated Community Development Approach.
Mitigating the immediate and urgent issues entails addressing issues of ill health, poor living conditions, inadequate skill-sets required for gainful employment, and lack of access to educational, medical and legal services.
The second methodology is about a transition from being people to becoming citizens. It seeks to enable people and their communities to develop a Community Based Management system to discover their own potential, learn their entitlements, respond to civic and social issues, and engage with government institutions to improve their lives.
In the long term, this dual approach would affect a qualitative improvement in (1) basic health infrastructure, (2) access to secondary education, and (3) opportunities for sustainable livelihood.
Aseema Charitable Trust
Aseema Charitable Trust is a Mumbai based non-governmental organization with a mission to equip children from marginalized communities with high quality, value based education enabling development of their limitless potential. Over the past 19 years, Aseema has worked extensively with children living in slum communities in Mumbai and remote tribal communities in Igatpuri.
In Mumbai, Aseema works in partnership with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai(MCGM) to create centres of excellence within the public education system. We have adopted the English medium sections of the Pali Chimbai Municipal School, Santacruz (W) Municipal School and Kherwadi Municipal School. In each of these schools, Aseema supports the MCGM by providing teachers who are oriented to Aseema’s child friendly approach, making the learning environment stimulating and safe and creating a culture that respects the child and promotes learning.
In Igatpuri (Maharashtra), we have set up an Education Centre for Tribal Children in the remote village of Awalkheda. The Centre currently has a Pre Primary Section and reaches out to children from the village and eight neighbouring hamlets.
Over the past few years, Aseema has been invited to offer training and support to other organizations working in the field of education. Through these and other initiatives, Aseema reaches out to over 4000 children annually.
Aurobindo Chaudhuri Memorial Great Indian Dream Foundation
Let us together dream of a country where poor are not just merely reduced to statistics but where there are no poor at all. Let there be a day when small children are taken to a poverty museum like science museum, where they shiver at the plight of the way people used to live in the last millennium. Let this dream take the form of a revolution and as long as our dreams keep outweighing our memories, India would remain a young and dynamic nation on its path to global equality. And for this, let the wait not be for eternity. Let us together achieve this in the next 25 years.
We aim at doing everything possible in order to achieve the great Indian dream of making India an educated and healthy nation, free of poverty and its inhuman indignities.
