We work for children who are Differently abled, orphaned, abandoned or whose families are unable to take care for them. We give these children the opportunity to build lasting relationships within a family. Our family approach in Adarsh Bhawan is based on four principles: Each child needs a mother, and grows up most naturally with brothers and sisters, in their own house, within a supportive friendly environment. These are the core beliefs and attitudes on which our organization has been built, and they are the cornerstones of our success. These enduring values guide our actions, decisions and relationships as we work towards fulfilling our mission.
