After receiving support for 3 years, 46 children living with HIV (CLHIV) have been weaned out of support as they are self-sufficient now and being taken care well by their guardians. The programme focusses on counselling, ensuring adherence to ART treatment, health, education and livelihood support to care givers of these children.
With your generous support PRIDE India was able to provide quality services to around 138 children living with HIV/AIDS. 19 parents/caregivers of CLHIV have been provided livelihood support and 27 orphaned children has been linked to government schemes from sustainability perspective. We appeal you to support many more children who need this kind of support to live and dignified and healthy life.
6 children have completed “basic computer course”, so as to have an additional skill besides formal education. This certification will be helpful for applying for government jobs later once they are 18 years old. Currently Two of these children are studying in Bachelor of Arts (BA) 1st year, one child has appeared for Diploma in Education 1st year, others are studying in Intermediate.
