JJMMF/ANEW
Inspiring Hope, Nurturing Futures
Together, let’s build a brighter tomorrow for the disadvantaged girl child, adolescent females, and young women in need.
Introduction
At the JJ Metta Memorial Foundation (JJMMF), we believe that every child and young woman deserves the right to health, education, and dignity. ANEW (Advancing Nutrition, Education, and Wellbeing), our action arm, transforms this vision into impactful programs that bring help and hope to underprivileged communities across India, with a special focus on the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Our Presence in India
The Indian chapter of JJMMF operates as part of the USA-based JJ Metta Memorial Foundation and is registered in India (Registration ID: 1609-IV).
Tax Benefits for Indian Donors: Donations to our Indian chapter are eligible for 80G tax exemption under the Income Tax Act. All funds donated to the Indian chapter are exclusively used for activities and programs in India, directly benefiting communities in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and other regions.
Since our foundation in 2006, we have empowered lives through impactful initiatives and compassionate action. JJMMF is registered as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in the USA (Tax ID: 20-8839471), with a strong operational presence in India.
Long-term Tools & Rapid Response
ANEW is more than a charity; our projects are tools for long-term change. We provide children and women in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana with access to education, health, and nutrition. Our first project, launched in 2007, helped establish a school for migrant and orphaned children on the outskirts of Hyderabad. For nearly two decades, ANEW’s continued support has helped children who once had nothing grow into confident young adults with the skills they need to succeed.
ANEW provides help and hope in three focus areas.
