based at Chennai. ANEW is registered under the T.N. Societies Registration Act.

ANEW has been providing free training for young women from underprivileged families, who would otherwise be unemployed.

ANEW is dedicated to helping young women get access to practical job skills and good paying full time jobs. Employment choices for women from underprivileged families in India are limited to "traditional" jobs in agriculture and low-skilled handicraft work. In many cases these women are exploited or underemployed. Over the last few years ANEW has provided more than 2,400 women with the training required to become home nurses, computer operators, car drivers and autorickshaw drivers.
