Help & Support

YOU can make a difference

THE ANCHORAGE was started in 1988 by a group of five parents and a special educator. Children of all the founder- members were in Sadhana School, a well- established special school in South Mumbai. At the age of 18 they were expected to graduate from the school to make way for other children. Concern for what would happen next and a fear of their children’s regression drove the parents to look for options. They wanted to “do their best” for the child/adult and so with the help of a special educator, the idea to set up a workshop was born. The main purpose was to provide vocational training and arrange for appropriate job work. Over the years the workshop has grown to become a holistic life space.
