Knowledge for an independent life
Anand Ashram is very familiar with the problems of those in his care. The priest from Vasai, a town on the outskirts of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), was an orphan himself. Today he cares for about 80 orphans between the ages of 5 and 18 in a home he founded and runs himself.
Ashrams's independent aid organization is dedicated to teaching the children skills that will enable them to lead an independent life. Bayer supported this project in a number of ways for several years, providing teaching materials, sporting equipment and financial assistance.
The priest's approach of promoting independence for the children is followed closely at the home in Vasai. In addition to basic necessities such as food and clothing, the children are provided above all with practical knowledge. They also receive vocational training in silkscreen painting or welding so that they can make a living once they leave the home.
