The 160 beneficiaries are children Living with HIV and are on Antiretroviral therapy. They are living in poor households and in most cases lack basic needs of health, safety, food and schooling. The schools where they study don't provide lunch and this has resulted into non adherence to drugs due to lack of proper feeding which has injured their lives physically, psychologically, academically and health wise.
