Education for 356 HIV Infected/Affected Children

The fair-smiling boy [now  at DESIRE Society  Care Home ]  was at home with his family. He has twin bother and sister younger to him. The 10 years old boy lost his mother when he was just 6years old. The cause of death turned out to be HIV positive case. After death of mother , the father diagnosed with HIV started looking for an orphanage.

The paternal family also wanted the children to be admitted in orphanage. Both his younger brother and himself was admitted in our care home. All the three children in family are diagnosed with HIV disease. We have taken up the task of HIV testing and ART usage for him.

Recently he lost his father too and  performed the last rites being the eldest boy as per family tradition.We are committed to work for such children so he will be taken care by all means.

The primary task of nutritive food is well planned and goes as per diet chart at care home level. The healthcare is prime concern for such children. He is regularly put on ART medication. The balance of food/ medical care has improved the over all growth of this boy. The discipline taught for daily routine in this context is followed by him. He is quite obedient in all respects while undertaking daily routine schedules.

He takes extra care when it comes to look after the younger inmates at care home level. The discipline learned is passed to other inmates with his involvement. At home with parents , he has started his education in Government school. After the admission with us , he is admitted into a private school. The english medium private school studies is also adapted well at his end. He is scoring well in private school. The general knowledge at this younger age is quite impressive. He want to be the topper in his class. We at DESIRE Society are going to give extra care for fulfilling his dreams.

The continued support from like-minded groups over the years can make us to strengthen such children’s better  living at care home level.
