Based out of the Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Manav Sadhna
carries Gandhi's work to the present. The ashram was surrounded by
children who spent their days out of school, sorting through trash in order
to survive. Manav Sadhna took direct action, providing the children
with creative ways to learn and thrive while still earning the same
amount of money. Find out how they are doing it!
