545 1 |a The Nevett Fund of America was conceptualized in 1965 after Rita Anton learned of the work Albert Nevett, S.J., in India. The Nevett Fund was first established in England, Nevett's native country. The American chapter of the charitable organization, with Rita Anton as its president, was based in Chicago from 1965-1997. The focus of the Nevett Fund was to provide financial support for the education of outcaste children in India, also known as Harijins. These children were often mentally or physically challenged and lived in destitute conditions. Children chosen by the fund were then placed in schools run by priests and nuns and were provided a minimum of three years of high school, followed by technical training. The education of the Nevett children was funded by donations and the investments of the organizations.
