Welcome to Apna Ghar
Apna Ghar is a domestic violence shelter serving primarily
Asian women and children, and was the first Asian shelter of its kind in the
Mid-Western United States. Apna Ghar
takes its name from a Hindi-Urdu phrase meaning "Our Home", and
since January 1990 has served over 5400 domestic violence clients.
The Asian-American community, currently the fastest-growing population,
demonstrates unique needs in language, religion, family systems and food
preparation. Apna Ghar
helps them heal and enhance their sense of dignity and self-respect.
