Akanksha Foundation - India

back

18/03/2008

In addition to her normal job as a business coordinator, she hold slide shows to collect money for the "Akanksha Foundation" based in Mumbai, India. The Akanksha Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to impact the lives of less privileged children, enabling them to maximise their potential and change their lives. Akanksha works primarily in the field of education, addressing non- formal education through the Akanksha centre and also formal education by initiating school reform.

Over the past 16 years, the organization has expanded from 15 children in one centre to over 3000 children in 62 centres, 4 Kindergarten centres and 2 schools. A commitment is made to support each child by giving him or her a strong educational foundation, a good time, self esteem and values, and to help them plan how they can earn a steady livelihood as a step towards improving their standard of living.

Brigid will be collecting money for this organisation before and after the MARATHON DES SABLES and would be very very happy if you help her to collect money for AKANKSHA FOUNDATION
