Anything Will Do, a non-profit organization, was formed about 4 years ago with a vision to help the underprivileged suffering during the lockdown. They have since provided dry ration (groceries) to over 17,000 families pan India, more than 600 children were given free milk every day through a prepaid system to the nearest milk booths, over 7,000 stray dogs were fed daily and they took care of their medical needs.
In lockdown two, with the help of over 300 volunteers, they were able to save many lives through oxygen concentrators, refills, plasma, blood, medicines, hospital bills settlements, ICU beds, and ambulances. During and post-COVID-19, they helped many children in their education by paying their fees, providing them laptops/PCs or using mobile phones for their online classes, who couldn't afford.
They ventured into education through their campaign called "PROJECTeducate" post COVID where they are setting up Project Educate Centers all across the country in underprivileged areas where children can connect with the rest of the world through online Masterclasses on counseling, motivation, general knowledge & subjective help to students. There are several training programs for teachers to enhance and upgrade their skills. Currently, they have 36 Project educate Centers running.
How does Anything Will Do help underprivileged children?
Anything Will Do has two types of models for their Project Educate Centers:
- PEC in schools/colleges: They put up these centers anywhere in any underprivileged school/college situated in villages or small towns which doesn't have a computer lab. They install computers and other gadgets that are needed to have a computer lab. Each center has at least 5 computers, 1 projector and furniture, etc. Every Friday they invite mentors/guests/volunteers to conduct online masterclasses to provide motivation, general knowledge, counseling, or subject-related help. These classes are very interactive and help students find their way ahead.
- PEC COCO (Company owned, company operated): They take care of the center completely and run free basic computer courses in at least 3 batches
