Who we are
Welcome to Anurvana, a beacon of hope and empowerment for children and youth hailing from slums. We are not just an organization, but a movement that aims to transform lives through a unique blend of education, practical skills training, and the magic of theatre. We unlock the boundless potential within these young minds, fostering an environment where learning and earning walk hand in hand. This innovative model not only imparts valuable knowledge but also provides a steady income for the youth, easing the financial strain on their families and making education a reality rather than a distant dream.
What we do
Our mission goes beyond education; we strive to help slum children and youth tap into their full potential, enabling them to construct a brighter future for themselves and their communities. Theatre, in our view, is more than just a form of art; it’s a catalyst for personal growth and social consciousness. It serves as a mirror to society, reflecting its virtues and vices, while also being a stage where our children and youth can blossom into confident, empathetic, creative, and critical thinkers. Theatre also becomes a voice for the voiceless, raising awareness about pressing social issues and advocating for positive change. Here at Anurvana, we are not just teaching children; we are building leaders and changemakers, creating a ripple effect of empowerment and transformation that will resonate through the slums and beyond.
Our Programs
Theatre For Change
Theatre for Change is a creative movement, where dance, music, drama, painting, and art & craft become powerful tools for transformation. Through expression and storytelling, we help individuals find their voice, confidence, and purpose.
This isn’t just about learning an art form—it’s about sparking change. In our sessions, participants step into new roles, explore emotions, and connect with deeper social realities. Whether through a heartbeat of music, a brushstroke of color, or the intensity of a theatrical performance, every moment is designed to empower, inspire, and heal.
At Theatre for Change, creativity becomes a bridge between personal growth and social impact. It’s a space where stories matter, imagination leads, and every individual discovers their power to make a difference.
Masti Ki Pathshala
Masti Ki Pathshala is Anurvana’s vibrant learning space where children from Nursery to 8th grade get the education they deserve—without barriers. We teach school subjects in a way that makes learning exciting, engaging, and meaningful.
Here, classrooms aren’t just about textbooks—they’re filled with stories, creativity, and discovery. Through interactive lessons, games, and artistic expression, we ignite curiosity and help children build confidence in their education.
This initiative is more than just a school program; it’s a path to dreams and a future full of possibilities. With accessible learning and a nurturing environment, we empower students to grow, explore, and thrive.
Trash To Treasure
Trash to Treasure is Anurvana’s creative sustainability initiative, where discarded materials find new life through art, innovation, and purpose. We teach children and communities how to transform waste into beauty, using painting, craft, sculpture, and upcycling techniques to turn everyday trash into meaningful creations.
This isn’t just about recycling—it’s about rethinking, reimagining, and rebuilding. In every session, participants learn to see value in the overlooked, creating works that are not only visually stunning but also tell stories of resilience, creativity, and environmental awareness.
Through hands-on exploration and artistic expression, Trash to Treasure inspires a new way of thinking—where waste is not a problem, but a possibility. It’s a movement that turns discarded objects into symbols of hope, sustainability, and transformation.
