Alternative Education Programme
District
Anand
States
Gujarat
The Anwesha Foundation has taken significant steps to enhance school enrollment and provide a sustainable future for the nation and its youth. Despite these efforts, some children drop out or discontinue their education due to poor board exam results. Simultaneously, industries face a shortage of skilled production technicians. The organisation addresses this issue by offering an alternative education programme. Under this initiative, dropout children are enrolled and receive comprehensive training in literacy, mechanical and electrical occupations, English, Computers, Safety, and character development over a two-year period. A centre is currently operational in Anand, Gujarat, as part of this programme.

Waste Hub Programme
StateStates
Gujarat
Anwesha Foundation operates "Waste Hub," an innovative initiative with the aim of establishing a circular waste management system to combat climate change. Each Waste Hub is custom-designed to accommodate the specific waste generated in its locality, fostering a self-sustaining cycle of Take-Make-Collect-Upcycle. This approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint. Additionally, Waste Hub facilitates the community's transition to using upcycled and recycled products, thereby diminishing the reliance on natural resources and ensuring a lasting positive impact. The four core actions undertaken by each Waste Hub encompass awareness programmes on waste management, linking the value chain from collection to implementation, collaboration with various stakeholders including sanitation workers, communities, NGOs, industries, upcyclers, and recyclers, and the creation of innovative upcycled products for community use.
