Ananda Bharathi conducts nonformal classes for girls in Tarnaka, a middle-class neighborhood in Secunderabad. Most students are domestic workers and live in a nearby slum. Currently there are 30 students between 5 and 16 years of age.

Asha-Cornell funds part of the recurring expenses of the school (rent for premises, water, electricity). The grant for one year starting September 2002 was $1000, and the same amount was donated in 2003.

Asha-Irvine started funding the project in 2006 and plans to continue funding in 2007.
