Dear Friends and Well-whishers,
50 at-risk trans and non-binary youth- from extremely difficult backgrounds who are socially excluded, and abandoned by their families are identified by our EMERGENCY TASK FORCE. Our task force vetted the backgrounds of the 50 youth who are presently without vital support facing discrimination, entangled in poverty trap, and vulnerable to social evils and deep-rooted stigma.
With an objective to shun the prism through which the incredibly diverse TRANS community is viewed and continued to be tainted in all spheres of life, we are trying to help at least 50 of them from the LGBTQIA+ community, who are willing to pursue an IT job training followed by subsequent dignified livelihood.
Your generous support will enable ANUDIP to nullify the inequalities they face and commence humanitarian intervention to leverage trans visibility, diversity, and perseverance in education, employment and technology livelihoods.
We would be happy to anwer your queries, if any. Please write to us and help us build a truely inclusive society for all.
Wram Regards,
ANUDIP Family
Dear Friends,
While global citizens all around the world celebrate Dussehra, one of India’s grand festivals, there is one episode of violence against women every 20 minutes in India. This year, as Dussera coincides with DAAN Utsav or the Joy of Giving, our TASK FORCE worked tirelessly to identity and support 100 stricken survivors of trafficking, between 18 to 26 years, near the Indo-Bangladesh border, 100 young women who currently entangled in poverty trap, riddled with financial debts, and vulnerable to drugs and forced early marriages.
Our TASK-FORCE vetted and verified the backgrounds of these 100 young girls who are struggling with several threats and high food insecurity. With an aim to give them back a life of dignity in their most vulnerable disaster, our SAVE A DURGA THIS DUSSEHRA initiativerequests your URGENT support to help us equip these at-risk girls by providing them with new job-skill training in a safe-and-secured environment followed by a stable livelihood.
While we prepare them to earn their own bread, our emergency response would be providing them with necessary counselling and job-training till the time they get an income-flow. ANUDIP, through its BEST (Building Entrepreneurs to Stop Trafficking) program, will enable these disadvantaged women and girls to find viable and respectable lives and livelihoods.
Below mentioned on how your support will help

Dear Friends,
Thanks to your support over the past year. Your patronage helped us ensure women and girls from the margins could continue accessing technology for sustainable and ambitious careers.
Our report sheds light on the challenges facing women and girls as a result of the gender digital divide. In the patrilineality of India’s society, women bear what is often an unfair burden of representing the family they are born into, or later married into. Digital illiteracy and unfamiliarity with digital platforms deterred many women students, aspiring job-seekers and entrepreneurs from moving to online. Our 30 year-old alumna from rural Jharkhand reports “I own a smartphone, yet my online activities are often governed by male relatives owing to my unfamiliarity with such smart devices.”
Over 100,000 women and young girls have benefitted from Anudip’s counselling, skilling and technology-driven livelihood programs. They have taken up what in their communities would be termed as ’atypical of women’ careers - working in cutting edge technologies. Our students have on an average seen a 240% increase in family income after securing jobs, leading to transformative, sustainable change. Here is an example of how our beneficiaries are going from strength to strength and transforming not just their own lives but their families.
How we do it?
Curated for socially disadvantaged women- groups, ANUDIP’s technology driven interventions take into account the vulnerabilities that these women and girls have to face, ensuring that they learn and work independently, keeping aside the social discrimination by:
Challenging the broken rung on the career ladder for these women from the margins, ANUDIP engages girls from resource-limited backgrounds to access training, projects, and other resources for accelerating careers in technology.Click Women In Tech From The Margins
We are in touch with more such women living in the depths of poverty without consistent earning, security and access to the basic amenities from several Indian states. Your support will offer holistic development of a girl by relevant skills and dignified employment–with respect. Please write to us if any queries.
With Gratitude,

Dear Friends, Well Wishers and Supporters,
While the pandemic and its aftermath still dominated the world; we at ANUDIP reinvented 2021 with new ways shaping our resources to response across 18 Indian States and 57 districts impacting unserved communities the most. We are grateful for your donations and in-kind support last year that allowed us to create a sustainable impact in the communities we serve in the following ways:
Along with creating digital livelihoods at scale, the year have been busy responding to the overwhelming critical needs of communities for whom the threat of starvation loomed largely. Our Covid-19 Response Team impacted 6000+ low-income with door-step delivery of essential ration kit and aided 3500+ needy families in quarantine with basic medicines, pulse oximeters, steam inhalers and COVID care kit. With help from some of our corporate partners we were able to plug in medical infrastructure gaps at 25 rural and semi-urban government hospitals by providing intensive care healthcare equipment. As a testament to the contributions we made to transform lives with your support, we are elated to share the prestigious awards we have received in 2021 wih you:

Stories of Resilience
The statistics above are staggering - but there's a human story behind each of the numbers, too. Here are the stories of some of the crisis-stricken Indians whom we reached with your support:
“I am a manual scavenger and I carry, dispose, or otherwise handle human excreta in an insanitary latrine or in an open drain. With COVID fears, many people do not come near us since we carry dirt but a task force came and handed over a bag full of ration and essentials. Sometimes it is not about donation, it is about making us feel valued. "- A, Manual Scavenger from Jharkhand, India shared a thank you note for the donors.
“My husband and I use to sell tea worth Rs. 6 – near own a small tea-shop. MY husband got covid infected. He had to shut-down our small tea-shop which meant no income for us. I usually don’t reach out for help unless extremes but I had to ask for support. The door-step delivery by Anudip volunteers – helped us immensely with home essentials for more than three weeks.” A Tea-Stall Owner's Wife from West Bengal, India left a acknowledgement after receiving the ration box
" These days people book cabs digitally so in lockdown – ideally traditional taxi-drivers like my father has to suffer. Moreover, diesel prices are soaring high. We will get bookings only when the tourism sector improves and companies ask employees to come back to office. Till then we have to survive on our savings and donation-camps. Anudip has helped us with an essential which is helping us.”Daughter of a Taxi-Driver in Maharashtra, India speaks to us after the dry food kit.
Because of friends like you, ANUDIP was able to immediately deploy teams and emergency relief supplies to aid to these 5000+ vulnerable households. We are now working round the clock to rebuild livelihoods to help them get back a life of dignity! Once again, thank you for your generosity and compassion. If you have any questions about our work, we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to write to us.
With deep appreciation,
