Nanhe Kadam: Adopting Anganwadis, Transforming Futures
“Every child deserves a strong foundation to step into the future with confidence.”
With this belief, the Darakht Chhanv Foundation (DCF) launched “Nanhe Kadam”, an initiative dedicated to adopting and revitalizing Anganwadis. These small yet vital centers are the first stepping stones for children in rural and underprivileged communities, offering early childhood education, nutrition, and healthcare.
However, many Anganwadis struggle with poor infrastructure, limited resources, and lack of essential facilities. Nanhe Kadam is our mission to change this reality and provide children with an environment where they can grow, learn, and dream.
The Need for Nanhe Kadam
Anganwadis play a crucial role in shaping a child’s early years. Yet, thousands of these centers face challenges such as:
- Dilapidated buildings with unsafe environments.
- Insufficient seating and learning materials.
- Lack of clean drinking water and sanitation facilities.
- Minimal awareness about early childhood care and education.
Without these critical resources, children miss out on the opportunities they deserve. Nanhe Kadam addresses these issues head-on by transforming Anganwadis into hubs of learning, care, and community development.
Our Mission
Through Nanhe Kadam, we aim to:
- Revamp Infrastructure: Create safe, child-friendly, and vibrant learning spaces.
- Promote Holistic Learning: Provide educational kits, books, toys, and creative tools for interactive education.
- Ensure Health & Nutrition: Supply nutritious meals, clean drinking water, and regular health check-ups.
- Empower Anganwadi Workers: Offer training programs for better childcare and teaching practices.
Foster Community Ownership: Engage local communities to support and sustain Anganwadis for long-term impact.
Real Impact So Far
Since launching Nanhe Kadam, we’ve made significant strides in several Anganwadis:
- Rebuilt Dreams: Renovated over 15 centers with safe structures, painted walls, and child-friendly furniture.
- Empowered Learning: Distributed 1,000+ books, toys, and educational tools to foster curiosity and creativity.
- Improved Health: Installed clean drinking water facilities and conducted monthly health camps for over 500 children.
- Strengthened Communities: Mobilized local communities, creating a sense of responsibility for their children’s future.
The smiles of children entering colorful classrooms and the gratitude of parents who see their kids thriving reflect the success of this initiative.
