Anandwan (Maharogi Seva Samiti)

Anandwan was founded in 1949 by Baba Amte near Warora in Chandrapur district, Maharashtra, as a self-sufficient community rehabilitating leprosy-affected, disabled, and tribal people through livelihood training, small-scale industries and healthcare. It now runs hospitals, schools for blind and deaf students, a college and an orphanage under the Maharogi Seva Samiti trust, led today by Dr Vikas Amte.

Anandwan (Maharogi Seva Samiti) reports the following, on its own site:

• Over 2,000 differently-abled people live and work with dignity at Maharogi Sewa Samiti's Anandwan, earning their livelihoods through its programmes.
