Welcome to Anna's Fund's Wesbite
Welcome to the website of Anna's Fund, a UK registered charity 1123790, registered on 19th April 2008.
This website, which constantly changes, gives details of the charity and its work and we hope will give you an insight into the necessity for its work and the underlying principles of the charity.
Our aim is to support homes, hostels and orphanages and schools giving help to the very poorest and most destitute, especially in in the Indian sub-continent.
This little girl, who is disabled, was abandoned at the door of an orphanage we support in Ooty, India. Without the care of the orphanage she would simply have been left to die as her family are probably desperately poor and cannot support a girl because of the dowry culture, let alone one who will never be able to work. We said the family are probably desperately poor as we have no idea who they are. Just a poor little bundle left on a doorstep. There is more about the orphanage in Ooty in this site.In our frantic world when a mobile phone battery going flat becomes a major trauma spare a thought for those who have absolutely nothing - not even a past. In Ooty the Franciscan Nuns who run the orphanage looks after anywhere between 120 and 160 girls - all of who have either been abandoned because they are girls and the financial burden of a dowry is too great, because they are disabled or because there parents have died. The charity is not a religious organisation and does not promote any religious teachings, supporting real need rather than dogma. In some places it is a very dark world indeed - help us light some candles and dispell that darkness.
