About ANCD Out of the Dark Organization

ANCD Out of the Dark Organization
Our Story

Founded on hope, built by community

ANCD Out of the Dark Organization is a registered non-profit working across Odisha and partner project sites in other states. What began as grassroots outreach has grown into a direct-action execution model spanning healthcare relief, computer & IT skill training, maternal and food support, and environmental stewardship.

In FY 2024-25 alone, our program expenditure grew more than 8x year-on-year, with 99.9% of every rupee received deployed directly into field operations — audited and published in full on our Transparency page.
