Amcha Ghar accepts
orphaned, semi-orphaned, neglected and abandoned girls.
We work with rejected children, orphans who do not
know their origin, children of commercial sex workers,
children abused by their relatives, children who have
witnessed the suicide of family members, and children
deserted due to poverty and hardship. Some girls’
parents have contracted HIV/AIDS
and are unable to care for them, although the girls
themselves do not have HIV.
Some were sold to brothels in other
states, expected to suffer the pain in silence; others
resorted to glue-sniffing to escape daily physical
and emotional duress. These children are often found
in unhygienic conditions on streets and beaches, or
in parks, parking lots, or slums.
Girls generally come to Amcha Ghar
between three and five years of age, although exceptions
are made for emergencies. We provide a safe, loving
environment to support their growth until they have
completed their education and/or vocational training
and can provide for themselves as successful adult
women.
