Why Our Work Matters?

Avani believes in equality, justice, and the desire to break the cycles of poverty and exploitation.

Avani helps children, women, and communities who face social and financial challenges to rebuild their lives with dignity and stability.

We do this because we believe everyone deserves to thrive-children to be safe and educated, women to be empowered, and communities to be resilient.

Our mission focuses on solving important problems: rescuing children from exploitation, providing education to break the cycle of poverty, teaching women valuable skills, and encouraging communities to lead their own positive changes.

We also care about protecting the environment. We do this by managing waste, composting, recycling plastic, and keeping urban areas clean. These efforts not only protect nature, they also create economic opportunities for marginalized communities.

Real Change, Real Stories

Advocating for and ensuring access to education for marginalized children, particularly focusing on those at risk of child labor or exploitation.

Children’s Intiatives

In the heart of every community lies untapped potential and resilience. We don't just see challenges—we see opportunities for transformation. Our approach goes beyond temporary fixes, diving deep into the lived experiences of people who are the true architects of their own progress.

Through community-led partnerships, we amplify local voices and empower communities to design their own solutions.

Gender Equality

Addressing gender inequality and empowering women to achieve self-reliance through skill-building initiatives and creation of economic opportunities.

Community-Led Development

Promoting holistic community-led development, including advocating for labor rights, and fostering sustainable practices within local communities.

The Avani Guardian Campaign

I support Avani because I believe all girls in India should have the chance to seek a better future, especially those vulnerable to underage marriage.

Anuradha Bhosale:

Avani Co-Founder and Chairperson, Anuradha Bhosale is a warrior for justice, transforming her own struggles into a mission to protect children and empower women. Once a child laborer herself, she has spent 25 years rescuing thousands of children from exploitation, bringing education to labor camps, and creating safe spaces for the most vulnerable.

She believes education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. By ensuring children go to school instead of factories, she gives them a chance to dream beyond survival. But real change happens through community-led development—when women and families are empowered to take charge of their own futures. She works tirelessly to equip them with knowledge, resources, and the confidence to build a better life.
