Bindu was born with HIV and underwent many treatments in Nepal, but they were all failing. Both of her parents are also living with HIV and were already struggling to manage their health. Bindu’s condition was only worsening as she was developing wounds all over her body. Unable to afford all of the family’s medications and proper nutrition, their future looked bleak.
Thankfully, a local doctor referred Bindu to NYF's New Life Center. The center provides medical care, treatment, shelter, nutritious diets, and education for children and their caregivers living with HIV/AIDS, one of the most stigmatized diseases in Nepal.
While Bindu’s is one of the most challenging cases that NLC doctors have seen, after proper nutrition, timely medication, learning good hygiene, Bindu’s wounds gradually healed. Her mood improved and she even enjoyed playing with other children residents. Bindu, her mother, and father returned to their village after 5 weeks with dramatically improved health, continuing the practices they learned at the NLC.
Thank you for making such remarkable transformations possible!
