Apna Ghar serves as safe, secure and an enabling place to live for children rescued from streets. Recognised as Open Shelter under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act, 2000, Apna Ghar team works with a rights-based perspective. The team’s key goal is protect and realise the rights of children, keeping in mind their best interest. Currently, the Open Shelter caters to 25 boys in the age group of 5-18 years
We have 7 childrens home where children are provided with healthy food , safe space , education , mental health services and rehabilitation.
Our appeal for raising funds thru the GlobalGiving platform is to help 2 children who are affected by HIV and who are staying at one of our shelter homes .
The children wanted to be with their family but the family had no means to provide food and shelter to these kids . So, through the money raised we wanted to help them reunite them with their family and at the same time take care of their physical health .
