1 out of every 6 girls does not live to see her 15th birthday

Bibi never had a chance - She was 9 and sent to work in her uncle’s house as a maid, while her brother went to school. Her only fault was that she was born a girl.

1 in 10 girls don't see a high school. With schools closed millions of girls will drop off schooling

Lakshmi never had a chance. Lakshmi is 10 and never went to school. One day, a drunk father came home and decided to get her ‘married’ to a 50 year old man in exchange for money. Her only fault again was that she was born a girl.

1 in every 3 child brides in the world is a girl in India. Coronavirus will put 4 million girls at risk of child marriage in the next 2 yrs

Every year, we see many Kavyas, Lakshmis and Bibis. Aarti Home rescues the girls from abandonment, abuse, both physical and sexual and gives these children a chance to have their childhoods and have a better tomorrow

Over 1000 girls have found a home Aarti for Girls, our NGO partner. Aarti for Girls started in 1991 when Sandhya found Radhika, a three year old child, abandoned on the roadside after she witnessed her father killing her mother. Radhika is a brilliant young woman, who competed in national level exams and is a successful mid level professional in a Central government agency.

Aarti for girls is a home for 120 children from ages of 5 to 22. The girls stay in Aarti Village, a 100% sustainable village with 9 cottages. Each child is not just given a place to stay, nutrition and education of choice but also cared for with love. Many children come from difficult circumstances and are counselled and given support physically, metally and emotionally.

Currently, the older children from Aarti are studying to be nurses, engineers, statisticians and teachers. Every child deserves a childhood where she can be sure of food, safety and most importantly unconditional love. We see children come from very difficult backgrounds - starved, abused, trafficked. Over the last thirty years, we tried to give the girls at risk, a childhood and a chance for a better tomorrow. COVID puts many many more children at risk. We need to reach out and do our very best to protect them.

It takes us 7500 per month for taking care of all the needs for the children of Aarti Home. We seek your help for a better tomorrow for children for 120 children.
