There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace."~ Kofi Annan
India, with its burgeoning population, marks a stark divide between the classes, where the problem of inequality and injustice engulfs women across the wide spectrum of rural and urban life.
AARTHI NGO believes that corporate organizations have a vital role to play in the development process. The NGO works on the Social Venture Philanthropy model and approaches corporates to adopt support genuine grassroots initiatives in India and other South Asian countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
Understanding that the rights of women and their well being are an integral part of a prosperous and harmonious community, AARTHI conscientiously works towards improving the quality of life for women who live under a blanket of economic and social distress.
To this effect, AARTHI has initiated appropriate actions through various interventions to improve the socio-economic status of women, with equal importance given to their education and health.
Stepping beyond the confines of bureaucracy, AARTHI engages with the affected communities at the grass root level establishing, organizing and consolidating their efforts towards the empowerment and development of the marginalized sections.
Through nutrition and health care initiatives, AARTHI also works towards the protection and rehabilitation of street children.
