Our Mission

We need to raise $2861.00 to rebuild the two anganwadi’s (preschools). This includes, rebuilding the foundation, the walls, installing windows for cross ventilation, insulation and a concrete corrugated roof, connecting electricity mains for light and fans,connecting the building to a council water supply, installing troughs for the children to wash and drink from and replacing all learning equipment and toys.

Every $366 we raise after that will fund one anaganwadi ( preschool) to run for one year.
This ensures that each child ( 50 per school) get a nutritious meal per day, ensures the wages for a committed and reliable teacher and for the supply of vaccinations and health treatments.

There are 64 anganwadis in the Tekra slum community. We hope that together,as a Bholu community we can adopt as many as we can to make a difference to these little bubalah’s lives. We will be keeping everyone up to date of the developments and share the documentation of the building progress and children’s growth and learnings. We hope you would like to be a part of our community.

If you would like to make a donation please email us for details. contactus@bholu.com

Bholu Anganwadi Project

After our trip last month, we have decided to rebuild our two favourite anganwadis in Tekra, Ahmedabad. While we were there, we spoke with Manav Sadhna and met with contractors and village people to organise how to go ahead with the rebuild.

These two anganwadis are the poorest in this slum community and they are the 2 we have been visiting and working with for the last 3 years.

Anganwadi #1 is made of scrap corrugated tin pieces for the walls and ceiling and is about 2m x 4 m in area. It is too small for the 40 children that attend, it has no water, electricity and has no ventilation.

Anganwadi #2 is made of brick, but has only a tiny window, has no cross ventilation, is too small and has no electricity or water.

The learning equipment needs replacing in both anganwadis.

More updates on the building plans soon.
