Transformation in life of Baby GREESHMA

Greeshma, 10 year old HIV positive girl is one of the residents of our care home at Hyderabad, India.She was brought to us when she was around 2 year old.

Greeshma’s mother died after her delivery due to HIV status. Unfortunately her father was also a victim of HIV. Though he wanted to foster the baby, but he could not due to his unsupported health condition. When he came to know about DESIRE Society through one of our regular health and nutrition camps in the communities, he approached us for admitting baby at DESIRE Society. After two years he got remarried another lady (HIV positive) who made a barriers between father and baby Greeshma.

Now he has completely stopped visiting baby Greeshma, because he has got two more children after remarried. But DESIRE Society has shouldered all responsibilities of baby Greeshma to ensure a possible future like how we are hoping for rest 74 such needy children staying at DESIRE Society, Hyderabad India. The food and medical care has put her into the normal track of day-to-day running.Although she falls sick often due to opportunistic infections but our team of health care is handy in making her to return back to normalcy.

Greeshma has always expressed her gratitude withoutboundaries (through her smiles)for being part of DESIRE Society’s family. Now she is able to attend in-campus schooling and performing good scoring in education without absence.

Hope you shall remain supportive to baby Greeshma for enabling a positive life with dignity through Global Giving platform.

Transformation in life of Navya at DESIRE Society

By Dr neelima atal mohanty | head communications

Navyasree with better living at DESIRE care home

Transformation in life of “ NAVYASREE” as enrolled in DESIRE Hyderabad Care Home ,IDA Bollaram

Navyasree,2years, is a girl child borne from a HIV + mother [ Tanuja, 36years ; on ART usage]. Both are provided with food, medical facility as per norms of care home [ especially designed to cater HIV children ].

Tanuja got this dreadful HIV disease from her husband who was employed in a private job. Due to extramarital relationship he got this disease. He has not disclosed about his HIV status to her.This led Tanuja to contact this disease.Further she gave birth to a baby girl [ Navyasree]. Meanwhile she lost her husband due to HIV status.

We are still undertaking HIV testing for Navya.She still needs to be verified for her HIV status [ either HIV positive and / or negative].Tanuja as a care taker [ DESIRE staff] works in our Hyderabad Care Home. Both mother and girl are protected under umbrella of DESIRE Society. Tanuja has customized herself for stay at care home level as she is socially not accepted within her own parent’s family.

“Navyasree” attends in campus schooling and enjoys path of potential growth along with other 74 HIV children at our Hyderabad Care Home , IDA Bollaram. The comprehensive child development cost [ Rs 4000/month/child ; for the food , medical , schooling facility etc ] is required for such children as they lack the family support as well as acceptance in the community. We are giving her a homely atmosphere with facility of food/medical/ schooling within scope of care home system.

She will be absorbed as part of “DESIRE family” bridging gap for their sustainable life pattern.Hope continuity of “ GLOBAL GIVING “ helping hands will continue to care such children in need in future too.
