Education for 356 HIV Infected/Affected Children

She was born in a poor family. Her parents were diagnosed HIV+ in 2009. She lost her father due to HIV AIDS. With her father's death the family lost their financial support. Her mother wanted to be financial independent to take care of the family but as she was only educated till class 9th she had to become a domestic worker to fulfill her needs. Since She was very intelligent and good at her studies thus her school decided to give her scholarship. However, as her mother's health deteriorated and it became harder for her to fulfill her other expenses her mother decided to shift her in hostel or children care home where they can take care of her. Their search for children's home brought them to “DESIRE Society” through one of our outreach workers in the community.

She was admitted in Institution Care Home in 2014 she was offered proper medication and treatment from Sion Hospital. She was ensured adequate health care and monitoring. When she was admitted in the institute she was 13 years old.  Two days after her admission in the home her mother passed away. When she came to know about her mother's death she slipped into depression. She started avoiding her ART Medicine and due to this her HIV progressed to second stage. Now she was also given balanced supplementary nutrition that boosted her immunity level and helped her cope up with ART medicine (Antiretroviral Treatment).

She is currently in private college and trying to go for higher studies. She is quite ambitious and want to stand at her own within limited life span of such children.

GlobalGiving is giving supportive hands to build her career and make her to lead a independent life once finishing studies.
