Save lives of HIV Orphan Children in India

Your contribution helps orphan children live their childhood…

It’s a worse situation for a small child to become an orphan or being left with a single parent.  Many children have lost their parents due to HIV infection and fighting the infection need support. Support from donors like you has helped us reach to 154 orphaned children and provide a caring and healthy environment through medical treatment, Nutrition supplies at their home and follow-up on ART adherence and counselling.

2 years old little master “Sham” (Name changed) resides with his mother in Dapka village, Osmanabad district of Maharashtra state. Big crises entered his life when his father died due to HIV/AIDS and their relative separated them because of stigma and discrimination. The responsibilities came upon his mother’s shoulder who is also suffering from HIV infection. The mother works as daily wage labor to fulfill basic survival needs of family. In many occasions, his mother was not able to feed him nutritious food thus his health condition became very weak. In a very weak condition, his mother brought him to PRIDE India SPARSH community care center, where he was supported with quality medical treatment and was also enrolled on the regular nutrition diet program. Now every month, regularly he is receiving nutrition support and medical treatment. In the last six months his health status had improved significantly for eg his CD4 count increased up to 971, weight gained from 6 kg to 10 kg, and height increased from 64 cm to 65.

His mother thanks PRIDE India for standing behind as family members and supporting her to live a life with better hope!

There are many orphaned HIV children who need support. Request your support to the cause of  bringing smiles in  their lives…..
