In 1992, Aarti Home began as a shelter for abandoned children. With over 1,000 children passing through its doors, Aarti Home has become a haven for children who have suffered abuse, trafficking, and abandonment. Through our efforts, we quickly learned that 90% of India’s abandoned children are girls. 

As the home grew, organization soon realized that behind every abandoned girl was a mother who was unable to protect her child. Over time, organization’s mission has broadened to address the underlying gender discrimination and violence affecting both women and girls.

At its core, Aarti fosters and supports abandoned girls in the Kadapa by providing them with a home and opportunity. Simultaneously, they work to educate and empower women in the larger community through training and advocacy programs. Their aim to help women achieve economic and emotional independence, gain confidence, and understand their personal rights.

Our Values

• Aarti’s work is born out of compassion for those who lack the opportunities and resources to live fulfilling and safe lives.
• At the root of organization’s cause is the desire to create a society where a girl child receives all of the opportunities her male counterparts receive. A society where women believe that they are able and deserving of economic and emotional independence.
• In Kadapa, Aarti is trusted by the community as an organization that is always honest and dedicated to its cause. Children and women will always be safe, loved, and respected while in our care.
