Anarde Foundation registered as a charitable trust on 1st April 1979, 40 years ago, we’re now in 2019. An NGO with a strong focus on rural development, the objective is to EMPOWER rural India. Anarde Foundation has a proven track record of four decades of dedicated work for villages in Gujarat and Maharashtra. Almost 70 % of the Indian population resides in rural areas. The tremendous potential of these villages is often neglected and thereby underutilised. Low economic activity leads to low standards of living and a difficult life. Cities provide the more attraction option leading to out migration from villages. The intention is to arrest such mass migration and improve living to a level where people will stay back and build satisfying lives in the villages. Through our work we aim to develop villages holistically, implementing sustainable solutions and thus giving people a reason continue to live in the villages. Our key focus areas are: Water: Clean Drinking Water, Water Conservation, Water Management, Low Cost Infrastructure: Sanitation & Wastewater Treatment and Housing for Individuals, Schools and Communities, Financial Inclusion: Skill Development, Livelihood Training through SHGs, Micro-credit for Women, Youth and Farmers We have 15+ centre in the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) of India has endowed Anarde Foundation with the status of an Implementing Agency. We are empanelled with the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Govt. of India to undertake CSR projects in the field of Rural Drinking Water and Sanitation. We also possess 80 (G) and FCRA certification. Join us as Sponsors, Partners and Collaborators to help Rural India Shine!
