Why donate?
HIV AIDS has emerged to become an epidemic and a public health crisis in India. Thousands of people die due to this deadliest disease. The children whom we are supporting are HIV-infected children who mainly come from rural areas and are orphans as well as abandoned by their relatives. They face stigma and discrimination in society for their HIV status. And underprivileged children come from the poorest of the poor sections of society living in the slums and rural areas. These underprivileged children have no access to basic needs. The main profession of the parents is rag-picking, petty sales and begging. These underprivileged children are discriminated against and are not accepted in mainstream schools. Children who should be in school at this tender age are left on the streets to play, while their parents are off to work.

This is the impact
helped us achieve in 2021-2022
Our initiatives made a significant contribution to prevent the spread and mitigate the impact of HIV AIDS by educating people and communities. And we focus on preventing or targeting interventions at high-risk groups and providing care and support to those infected. And also ensured all the support to the needy underprivileged children by providing quality education and other support. Over the 14 years of our journey, we have been supporting thousands of HIV infected and providing shelter, HIV related health care services, nutritional food, and education and helping them live a healthy and dignified life and supported the education of 24000 underprivileged children
