DESIRE Society for HIV/AIDS Children in India

Baby girl was born in a socio-economically poor family background. She had lost both her parents due to HIV/AIDS when she was 9 years old. She has four siblings two are studying nursing course and staying in college campus. Other two elder sisters are with her aunty.

Unfortunately, only this baby was born with HIV positive during birth. After the demise of  parents her aunty put in the orphanage home. The orphanage was closed thereafter they shifted baby girl to DESIRE Society.

 She came when she was 15 years old and we took special care for her being an HIV orphan child. She is put on to special diet as found malnourished at time of joining. She gained weight within few months of joining care home . Her physical and health wise status improved in short span of time.

The ART drug usage is strictly followed  in her case. The balance of nutrition / medical care is quite evident in her case. It is seen in terms of increase in her CD4 count. The treatment of opportunistic infections are always put on strict vigil.

 She is studying in Lords Universal Degree College Std- FYBAF which is a private English medium college. She is quite sharp in learning skills. The computer skills are developed while staying in care home level. She is actively involved in taking charge of smaller children at care home level. She is role model for rest of children to follow routine works.

She has dream to take up higher studies with focus on FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT course. Hope the helping hand from GLOBAL GIVING supporters are part of her way forward in achieving these goals.
