Bhumi Pednekar has been supporting Abhyudaya Ashram, a home and school for abandoned, socially backward and underprivileged children, including girls rescued from prostitution for nearly 3 years now. The Morena-based school was established in 1992 to fight the prostitution of girls in the valley and has expanded into housing boys too. The school looks to open up job opportunities for the children thus empowering them and also providing a better future to them.
Bhumi involved herself with the institution by building toilets and a hostel here after the blockbuster success and nationwide impact of her film, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. At the time of coronavirus crisis in India, where social distancing, self-isolation and maintaining hygiene is key to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Bhumi has dedicated her time to educate hundreds of children of this institute. Bhumi has been doing video calls with each kid and telling them about the do's and don'ts during this time of crisis and also how to recognise the symptoms of infected people.
