The AWF Anganwadi Project aims to rebuild and renovate 66 ‘anganwadi’ (preschools) in the slum areas of Ahmedabad, Gujurat, India. The project is currently sending teams of qualified AWF volunteers to work in Ahmedabad for periods of two weeks up to four months. Volunteers are involved in designing, documenting and supervising the construction and repair of these anganwadi. The anganwadi currently consist of crude one room galvanised or brick lean-to’s which have little or no ventilation or light. The anganwadi are constructed by local labourers and use largely re-cycled materials in order to support the Manav Sadhna philosophy of ‘Re-Use, Re-Cycle, and Reduce’.
