BABY SHRAVANI

Baby Shravaniis 6years old and her family belongs to Raigad District in Maharashtra, India. Her father used to work as a peon in a commercial factory. When her father found himself being a HIV positive patient, he did not disclose his status to anyone except his wife.His wife was already pregnant by that time and later tested to be HIV positive.

Due to fear of discrimination from the community, Shravani’s father made his wife also not to disclose their status to anyone in the village.This fear has made him to get delivery of his wife at village home itself.

The ignorance and fear of this dreadful disease made him not to take advantage of medical care available in Government Hospital. It is referred to as “prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV disease”. Thus, the implication arose for being the child, Shravani, to be born with HIV infection.

After demise of her parents there was no one to take the responsibility of the child.  It was not just loss of parent but Shravani’s health condition was also completely neglected. The villagers with gap of 2-3 months use to get medicines for Shravani from Mumbai City at Sion Government Hospital. Shravani developed skin disease all over her body due to poor health as well as lack of nutrition facilities.

One of villagers came to know about DESIRE Society at Government hospital. They came with this reference to us. The child was in malnutrition condition.After admission at DESIRE Society, our team gave her special attention towards treatment of opportunistic infections and highnutritious diet in her food schedule. Within 3 months span she had recovered well with lot of special“ love and care” rendered by team DESIRE.

Now baby Shravani is very pretty and cheerful girl among all the inmates. She is admitted in “ Sr.K.G. at Maharashtra English medium School“ at Goregaon (W) close to our care home.She wants to study well and become a teacher. DESIRE Society would strive to keep the dream of baby come true through contributions and support from GLOBAL GIVING that we hope to receive.
