Area Networking and Development Initiatives (ANANDI), Gujarat (2004), ($155,133)
Area Networking and Development Initiatives (ANANDI) is a women’s organization that works with women of the marginalized sections of rural and tribal communities of Gujarat. Since its inception in 1995, ANANDI has adopted a rights perspective to create a demand and understanding of women’s concerns. AIF support has enabled 1,300 women from marginalized communities to get engaged in various livelihood options, through skill trainings and other handholding exercises done by ANANDI to set up enterprises. In addition, community managed grain banks have been set up for emergency food needs with AIF support.
