Anandan was started in 1999 by a group of middle-class housewives with the aim of providing joyful education to underpriviledged children. Initial seed money was provided by the founding members themselves. Later funding from individuals and agencies including AfE, AID, Children in India (Belgium), and UN Women's Guild (Geneva) has helped the organization grow. Currently the organization consists of 8 board members who serve as volunteers, 8 teaching staff, and 2 non-teaching staff.
