Caring for People Affected by HIV & AIDS in Nepal

GG Rewards Bonus Day is Wednesday, July 18th. On this day donations made between 9:00am to 11:59pm EDT* to Superstar ranked organizations (such as AIDSLink) will be matched at 50% (there will be $120,000 in matching funds available). All day long there will be a 100% match on new recurring donations, $9,000 in bonus prizes, and promotional prizes!

We are again going to raise funds for AIDSLink Nepal on this day. Please encourage your friends and family to consider making a donation on July 18th. Click here to see the project.

Last year we raised over $15,000 which has made huge difference to the ministry.

These are some of the things that your donations in 2017 helped achieve.

• Sixty-six new clients and 196 current clients (from outside Kathmandu) made use of the services offered at the Care Centre.
• We continue to have a good relationship with the various hospitals and were able to help 1,815 patients (access lab. tests, Dr’s. check up, HIV test, CD4 count, viral load, caring for in-patients needs, counselling about HIV treatment, etc). Of these 382 were new patients whom we helped navigate the hospital system.
• There are 36 children in the scholarship programme. One child had a heart problem and needed an operation which we helped her mother pay for.
• We are running three support-groups. Two are outside Kathmandu. We have staff in two areas outside Kathmandu.
• We held 17 HIV awareness programmes around the country.
• The death of a co-worker shocked us and there were many question around how to best help her children (their father passed on a few years previously). One of the children (who is himself living with HIV) became suicidal and is staying at the Care Centre until we find a better solution.
