Aarti started in the early 90s as a shelter for abandoned girl children, but our journey eventually led us to the mother. Behind every abandoned child, we found a mother who was unable to protect her girl child. This made us reimagine our approach. From addressing the symptoms, we began to look at solving the issues that lay beneath them.

Today, Aarti works with both girls and mothers - Shelter and schooling for abandoned girls so that they have a chance to live and succeed. Training, Livelihood and Awareness programs with mothers so that they have the economic and emotional independence to make their own choices.

Aarti works to restore this cycle of life between mother and girl-child.
