Crescent Rural Development Society (CRDS) is a Non-governmental Voluntary Organization working in Anantapur District for the socio-economic upliftment of the socially and economically deprived people. With its main focus on children, child safety, child education, the organization is committed to the safety and security of the children and their families.

The organization is running a Child Care Institution (CCI), exclusively for girls taking care of more than 110 girl children who are coming from deprived communities, single-parent children and parentless children, Homeless children.

The "Rainbow Home" program was started in the year 2010 with 6 children in the freely offered house in the Driver’s colony of Anatapuramu. Now the home has grown to a strength of 110 children over a period of 15 years running with long-term care and protection. Ideally, a Rainbow Home is designed to cater to 100 children. Mostly, at any point of time, we have more than 100 children as we can’t afford to ignore vulnerable children seen on the street or referred by a civilian.

So far we have impacted around 300 most vulnerable girl children; most of them have been staying with us and few getting groomed for a period of 7-23 years (Long-Time Support For The Children). Thus, we could positively impact around 300 girl children, who otherwise, would have been in bad hands still on the streets, victimized, subjugated, and engaged in anti-social activities. Rainbow Homes Program- ARUN collaborated with CRDS as their local implementation partner to execute, manage Rainbow Home activities in the district of Anantapur in the state of Andhra Pradesh. CRDS has also been associated with Rainbow Homes Program since 2010.

We offer services such as protection, shelter, Health, Nutrition, Education, lifeskill, and Career support through the future program. We ensure our children groom and become good citizens through our Rainbow Homes Program which provides holistic and comprehensive care.
