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.
