Support one of India's first HIV/AIDS hospital

Thank you so much for your continued support of our hospital, you are directly supporting people living with HIV/AIDS and those from the lowest socio-economic areas of rural India. We are sad to report that our hospital was one of the causes affected by the recent cuts to US funding to developing countries. The withdrawal of funds was immediate, bringing an end to the mentoring support we were receiving from US AID via FH 360. This means your support has become even more vital in our mission to end HIV/AIDS and provide healthcare to those already living with it.

FH 360 has been mentoring our hospital team and helping us to ensure our hospital and its services remain sustainable. The good news is a lot of the ground work had been completed and our project has been reaping the benefits and we are determined to continue to build on what we have learned through the process. We have a new full-time doctor overseeing our project which means we can continue to those we serve albeit with limited funds and without their guidance.

We are helping young adults like Anil whose story we shared with you recently. Anil who grew up in our childcare institution (CCI) returned in a very poor condition and we feared the worst for him. He has now fully recovered and continues to act as a role model to other children encouraging them to adhere to their medication to stay healthy. He has recently opened his own small shop amd is doing really well in his new found independence and is strong and fit and remains in regular contact with many of our other HIV+ children to encourage them to do the same.

You may not realize but as a supporter of our hospital you are also a role model to our beneficiries, your continued belief in them grows their confidence and belief in themselves. Your support means much more than a donation, it gives them renewed hope. Thank you.
