A home. A school.
A family.
For 22 years, Aadarana has been a residential home and a free school for orphaned and underprivileged children. 7,000+ have grown up here — and gone everywhere.
CandidGold Seal of Transparency, 2026 · Aadarana Foundation USAIndia's education crisis, in the government's own numbers.
Telangana performs better than most states on these measures. But a child with no parents, no guardian and no documents never enters these statistics at all — because they were never enrolled. Aadarana exists for those children. We give them a home first, then everything else follows.
What happens when a child comes to Aadarana.
Most children arrive with nothing — no parents, no school, no plan. We don't hand out aid and step back. We walk the whole way, from vulnerability to independence.

Six things every child deserves.
A real childhood isn't any one thing — it's a stack of small constants. Bed, meal, school, health, play, future. We carry all six.
A real home
House-parents, siblings, shared meals. Children grow up here — they don't pass through.

A future after Aadarana
College sponsorship, mentoring, alumni network across four countries.
Education as liberation.
Running since 2017, our on-campus school is free to every resident child at Aadarana — and to needy day scholars from the surrounding community. English medium, co-education, recognised by the Government of Telangana, staffed by 15+ qualified teachers.
Since 2011, 32 of our children have become engineering graduates — including IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. Others are doctors, nurses, government officers, entrepreneurs. One is finishing her master's at Macquarie University, Sydney.
