BeT has 230 girls at present, the age group ranging from 3 to 18 years. Each girl will be provided a healthy environment to grow on to become a major, when she will be capable of deciding her future. The girls study in private and government schools and have excelled in their respective classes. Local women and men are employed to run the Home and the advisory committee of 15 members along with the youth executive committee ensures its smooth running.
Established in May 2002, to fight for the basic rights (to survival, protection, development and participation) of the girl-child and the word orphan itself (as it brings a deep seated psychological scar to the child's entire life) BeT works towards their physical and psychological recovery and social reintegration.
