ANIMEDH CHARITABLE TRUST (ACT) is a non-profit organization based in Mumbai, India. The Objectives of ACT are to provide financial support and social services to needy women and children at individual, community, and national levels. There is a huge void in both these areas in a big country like ours with a 1.2 Billion population, almost 30% of which is poor (Population below poverty line in India live on 1.25$ a day - Census report 2011). They pledge to ‘ACT to make a difference’ and transform the lives of those less privileged around us by: • empowering less privileged women in order to transform their lives. ACT works on projects to impart life skills, provide vocational training, and facilitate earning opportunities. • promoting basic and higher education for underprivileged children, especially the girl-child. We have chosen this NGO as it talks about the various aspects of women empowerment and works towards the eradication of poverty. We students completely support ACT's future vision as it forges a deep impact for the welfare and development of the population of the country via holistic approaches and empowerment programs. Any donation will be greatly appreciated as it will help the organisation reach its goal and help the nation as a whole. Thank You
