Success Story of Boy at Care Home
The small-cute looking boy 8years was at home with uncle & his family. After the demise of his parents [parents died with HIV], he was put with rest of family. They were least bothered for caring this boy. This boy started falling sick quite often. The tensed relatives took him to Government hospital. He turned out to be HIV positive too. It was a case of mother to child transmission.
Family’s poor economic condition led this boy to suffer. The health condition started deteriorating thereby it was difficult for them to take care of him. They started looking for shelter home.
At the admission time, he was quite weak. We have designed specific diet chart for him which took a while to gain strength. The ART drug adherence is maintained very well within scope of care home, IDA Bollaram. The supplementary nutrition kit is added up to give a balanced diet pattern for such special [HIV] child.
The health condition of this boy improved under the supervision of medical team. This led us to have the confidence of sending him to school. The private school is inquired about his admission. He is able to attend “ Private English Medium school “ .
The continued support from “GLOBAL GIVING ” over the years can make us to strengthen such children’s better living at care home level.
