Food, Shelter and School for AIDS Orphans in India

project picture

Summary:

In Nellore, south India, where 30% of adults have HIV/AIDS, a family took in 26 abandoned children. They need to build a second story onto their house and provide education, health care, food and love

How You Can Help:

 
You can choose this cause to start a fundraiser on GlobalGiving, and get all your friends and family to donate to this great cause!

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

HIV/AIDS is spreading quickly in India, with 5 million infected adults. As in other poor countries, this will result in millions of orphaned and destitute children. Well-meaning people began to take in neighborhood children, but the need quickly outruns their resources. With help, these small projects can grow into a network of local care providers who can rescue great numbers of children. HEART House, which now cares for 26 orphans, is poised to expand, but needs our help.

Activities

The orphanage will build a second floor on the existing structure to provide additional living space for the children. Little Hearts will provide training, education to local HIV+ mothers and children. They will fight stigma.
