Girl Child Case Study at Care Home
A decade back, a six year old lean girl was admitted in Hyderabad Care Home. With demise her HIV positive father, the family was on road. Her HIV positive mother had no means to feed four kids. After, knowing about our Care Home facility, her mother approached for support.
On getting admission in Care Home, the six year old girl and siblings were put on nutritive diet. Special care was undertaken for HIV status testing and ART medication. A team of doctors assigned for this task. Daily health record was maintained. As a result, the girl gained weight with a significant jump in CD 4 counts.
Later, she was enrolled into a nearby private School. This is how her journey started. She topped her 10th standard School Examination. On being successful in Engineering Entrance, she enrolled in Bachelor’s Engineering Course.
Our Care Home facility did not only provided the much needed lifeline, but also offered her the best techinal career, possible in our country. With continued support from GLOBAL GIVING, we provided her the excellent livelihood and a bright future.
