About Anurvana
Anurvana, a philanthropic entity, is deeply rooted in the heart of Delhi, India, with a mission to uplift children and young adults residing in slums. We firmly believe that the power of Art can be harnessed as a catalyst to break the chains of poverty. Our aim is to equip these young minds with the necessary tools and skills that will pave the way for their success in life.
We have identified theatre as an influential medium for fostering personal growth and self-discovery. Our unique initiative, ‘Theatre for Change’, is designed to help children cultivate attributes such as confidence, empathy, curiosity, and perseverance. Moreover, it also enhances their social awareness, making them more attuned to the world around them.
Our team is a vibrant mix of individuals who share a common passion and dedication towards transforming the lives of these children and young adults from slums. We firmly believe in the potential of every individual to excel, irrespective of their socio-economic background.
We consider ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity to work closely with these children and young adults, guiding them towards achieving their dreams. Our gratitude extends to our generous donors, selfless volunteers, and dedicated interns, whose invaluable support fuels our mission and makes our work possible. Their contributions play a pivotal role in helping us bring about a positive change in the lives of these young individuals.
