Who We Are
How We Work
Our aim is to see a society where no child is orphaned simply because she is a girl. Female foeticide, treating a girl child as a curse and abusing women are not problems that have one solution. If we want a society where a girl child is wanted and welcomed with love, we need to change attitudes – deep rooted attitudes that take at least one generation to change, if not more. Aarti Home (VFT) has identified various aspects impacting attitudes and is working towards addressing these issues.
Where We Work
We are based in Kadapa in southern Andhra Pradesh. Our work is primarily in the surrounding regions of Anantapur and Kadapa districts.
We also operate training programs in the city of Hyderabad. We run computer training programs in our computer centre. We also operate a job placement centre there.

Our History
In 1992, a three year-old girl was found abandoned on the streets of Kadapa. On digging deeper, we discovered that she was the daughter of a woman killed by her husband. A few local citizens got together and decided to run an orphanage to bring up the girl and a few more like her. A rented building housed the children and provided them shelter.
