Ananda Spa Foundation
The Ananda Spa Foundation (ASF) is committed to providing a better future for the underprivileged girls of India. ASF is a charitable organization that has been established with the objective of empowering women from lower socio-economic groups. In Uttarakhand, women are the working members of the family and thus the financial backbone of their communities. By empowering them with careers we are supporting the communities in which they live.
In support of this cause we have established India’s first Private Not-for-Profit academy providing fully sponsored training and education for underprivileged girls in the field of Spa Therapy. The foundation also guarantees their jobs in reputed hotels and spas thereby enabling them to live fulfilling lives and support their families.
The courses offered at the academy are – International body treatments and Ayurveda therapies. All courses are geared towards providing critical practical and theoretical knowledge of spa therapies and also knowledge of the human Anatomy & Physiology. The academy is committed to providing quality training to create outstanding therapists. The teachers and trainers bring years of experience and in-depth knowledge from their respective fields. Ananda Spa Institute has secured 100% placement success rate for its graduates, who are now employed in top spas and hotels around the world.
This academy addresses the demand for spa professionals in the exponentially growing Spa Industry in India, and overseas. An estimated 7 million jobs are expected to open up in the spa & wellness business in India in the coming years.
Through this initiative we have been able to transform the lives of many girls in the community. We hope to help many more women on this journey and hope that you too will support us in this cause through our fundraising efforts.
