"To be orphaned is unfortunate,
but to be abandoned is heartbreaking."
- Sowbhagya, our Aarti child.

From one girl to many. Aarti began in 1992 with a single act of compassion. Our founder, Sandhya Puchalapalli(fondly known as Sandhyamma), found Rani (name changed), a two-year-old abandoned on the roadside by her father after murdering her mother. Taking Rani under her wing wasn't just an act of kindness; it sparked a lifelong commitment. Today, Rani is a thriving healthcare professional, a testament to the power of love and opportunity. This initial experience illuminated a deeper truth: behind every abandoned girl often lies a vulnerable mother. This realization led Aarti to evolve its approach, addressing not just the immediate need but also the root causes.
Today, Aarti provides a safe haven for abandoned girls, quality education for underprivileged children, and support for mothers, creating pathways to a brighter future. We are immensely proud of our alumni – confident, value-driven young women who are building successful careers and happy families. Through love, security, guidance, and opportunity, they have truly blossomed.
