Bal Bharati Public School in Sector 21 NOIDA was the first to partner with ANAWA by allocating one classroom in 1994, for the students of ANKUR to study in. Over a period of ten years, as one class got added every year, this increased to ten classrooms and eventually 12 as JAGRITI, the Vocational segment got added. ANKUR started with Nursery and added classes till VIII. Bal Bharati also supported ANAWA financially, by taking Re1/ per child per month towards ANKUR. This was disbursed to ANAWA on a quarterly basis. This association lasted till Jan 2017
Affiliation with NIOS started in 2002. Today Class V & VIII are enrolled with National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) and are issued certificates from them, which enables students to either join main-stream schools or sit for Class X exam through NIOS, for which they are eligible
This school in Sector 22 NOIDA, came to the aid of ANAWA when all else seemed bleak. ANKUR was shifted to Dharam Public School in January of 2016 and was lodged there till 1 April 2017 when it shifted to Somerville School Sector 22 NOIDA. ANAWA Trust is ever grateful to the management of Dharam Public School for helping out in this interim period
It was providence that brought the ANAWA Trust in contact with the management of the Lott Carey Baptist Mission in India. After Mrs D Tressler and Mr Roy Thomas visited ANKUR School in Dharam Public School, they invited us to shift our students to Somerville School in Sector 22 NOIDA w.e.f. 1 Apr 2017. Ten class-rooms and sundry facilities have been provided for use by ANKUR students. Having taken us under their wing, the Management and Principal have ensured the students feel wanted and are part of their outreach programmes. Besides providing cupboard for each class, they gave gifts to the students at Christmas time
Individual Donor:
ANAWA has been very fortunate to have found individual donors when in need and not supported by funding corporates. Two donors came to the Trust rescue in the years when it was not supported by any corporate. Their contributions of rupees two lakhs each was very timely and of great assistance in the running of the programme. More recently Mr Dutta contributed Four Lakhs to cover our rental & bus hiring, when ANKUR shifted to Dharam Public School
