Wikipedia defines 'anganwadi' as a centre that provides "supplementary nutrition, non-formal pre-school education, nutrition and health education, immunization, health check-up and referral services." India has more than a million of them. This article describes the development of a modern solar-powered anganwadi. This project enhances the traditional model "a focal area for immunization, gender sensitization and maternal care. It also aims to enhance the learning environment through an e-learning module and skill enhancement program for women." There's a lot to be said for this model: it's practical, community-based and integrates health, education, and support.
