Based on the founders’ commitment to the cause of education and research, this foundation aims to provide opportunities to children from disadvantaged backgrounds that would help them grow into useful productive members of society. It is founded on the belief that Quality education would be the cornerstone of any such endeavor and a holistic approach to this education would help to catapult them out of the vicious cycle of deprivation with the effects cascading and resounding further in the generations to come.
Ankur
For the program to be truly effective, a residential facility – Ankur – will be provided which will also provide a complementary home environment – so important for children. This would benefit children from economically disadvantaged background with a single or no parent. Initially, Advaith plans to set up homes of 5-10 children in the 3-5 yrs age group. These children will continue to stay in the home through their high school.
Beyond that based on their interests and capabilities they will join institutions of higher learning and be housed in accommodations associated with it. The eventual vision is to setup a campus kind of environment housing multiple smaller homes each under the charge of a house mother. The activities of Advaith will be operational by September 2005.
