ANRU FOUNDATION WELCOMES YOU

Breaking the cycle of extreme poverty among young girls in India with education

 

All donations are tax exempt under 501(c)(3) rules

Home: Welcome

WHO WE ARE

The AnRu Foundation was started by Ruhi and Anya in 2019.

​

We are dedicated to raising money to provide the funds for young girls growing up in India to attend school. These girls can not afford the education they deserve and we have the power to guide and support them from kindergarten to graduation. We raise money for the girls of the future, who depend on us to help them change the world.

​

Since 2019, we have been working with Shanti Bhavan Children's Project based in India and fully sponsoring the education of Rishma who started Pre-Kindergarten that year. Rishma is the daughter of a tempo driver and coolie and would likely not have had access to a grounded education under normal circumstances.

Home: Who We Are
Ruhi

Hello, I am Ruhi. I am 18 years old and I'm in twelveth grade. I attend high school in New York City. I have never had to worry about my education being put at risk because of my gender. Not all girls have that advantage. Along with my sister Anya, we strive to give young girls the education they deserve. I am excited to see AnRu Foundation grow and give opportunities to underprivileged girls in India. With the donations we collect, we can support girls from kindergarten through graduation. I am determined to keep girls exited to learn so they can have a successful and provident future.

Anya

​

Hello, My name is Anya. I'm 21 years old and I am a sophomore in the Architecture program at Rice University in Huston. All throughout my life, I have had the privilege of attending school regardless of my gender. I quickly realized that not all young girls have the same privilege and the same access as I do. My parents grew up in India, a place where the education of young girls is deprioritized, my sister Ruhi and I set out to help change this. This foundation raises money to sponsor the education of young girls at the Shanti Bhavan School. We look forward to helping young women reach their education goals.

I am thankful for my best friend Vijay
And for playing on the swings
For my teacher Ms. Raji
But it's my friends at Shanti Bhavan
Than I am thankful for most of all
