Anitha’s dream of building self-reliant communities in India

Half a dozen people are assembled under a banyan tree that offers very little shade: its branches snapped and leaves blown away.

There are constant power cuts and the heatwave begins to surge. But, Anitha has learned to overlook this discomfort and focus on the community’s needs.

Anitha and the children she helps in her India community.
