One of the most overlooked aspects of HIV intervention is the role older caregivers play.
Very little research has been undertaken to gauge the impact of HIV/Aids on grandmothers who are quickly filling the gap left behind by able-bodied parents who have succumbed to the disease.
Well, GEMINI has been at it, reaching to feeble grandmothers who, at tjeir advanced ages, have to start all over again in caring and providing for their grandchildren.
Starting today,we shall begin sharing the heart-rending stories of these resilient grandmothers who are suddenly becoming entrepreneurs, parents, caregivers and home-makers...all over again!
Please read Esther Mudhasia's brief story.
And once again, we really appreciate what you are doing for these hapless women. Its so touching!!
