About us
Shelter:
We shelter abandoned girl children in Aarti Home. More than 100 long-term residents live here right now. They are given a loving home and supported until they finish their education and settle down in their careers. Over the years we have also had around 800 children rescued from traffickers. These children have stayed at Aarti temporarily until they have been rehabilitated.
Education:
We provide support for education through:
1) Aarti School for 300 underprivileged children in the area. We provide financial assistance to bright and needy students to support their further education.
2) Bridge-schooling for over 200 children with an aim to bring older children to school.
3) Computer Lab that provides computer education to over 250 underprivileged youth.
Livelihood:
We train and counsel destitute women, and impart income-generating skills. Around 10000 women have become financially independent through help received from us. We support them by marketing their products and attending exhibitions in various cities in India and abroad.
Awareness:
We run a program called Women’s Leadership Development in partnership with ICA. This involves identifying women who have the potential to become change leaders and training them via workshops. These women then spread the knowledge – of their rights and opportunities, as well as the skills that they thus acquire - in their communities.
We have run numerous camps in collaboration with the National Commission of Women’s Rights in colleges and villages to spread awareness about the legal rights of women. We also run camps to provide information on medical and gynecological issues.
A recent example of our work is the celebration of the National Girl Child Day. This year we organized competitions like elocution and essay-writing in 1500 schools in the region, and involved 15,00,000 school children into different activities – all revolving around the girl child, in an effort to spread awareness.
