Education transforms lives, but for children living with HIV (CLHIV) in India, this path is filled with obstacles. Financial struggles, stigma, and health challenges often stand in the way of their dreams. Without support, these bright young minds may never get the chance to build the future they deserve.

The Campaign: Educational Support

This campaign provides financial assistance and holistic support to CLHIV with special focus on adolescent girls, ensuring they stay in school, receive quality education, and thrive academically. By focusing on orphans and the most vulnerable children, we help them overcome challenges and create a brighter tomorrow.

Children living with HIV — especially adolescent girls and those who have lost one or both parents — face immense hardships in accessing education. Most come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and marginalised communities. Without financial and emotional support, many are forced to drop out, limiting their future prospects.

Major challenges faced by Girl Child living with HIV in India

1. Stigma and Discrimination

• Triple-fold stigma when compared to HIV-negative siblings.
• Fear of disclosure in schools, neighbourhoods, and among peers.
• Social exclusion and denial of equal opportunities.

2. Limited Access to Education

• Families prioritize boys’ education due to limited resources.
• Girls often drop out after primary or secondary school due to social pressure or marriage.
• Societal belief that girls should focus on household roles.

3. Family and Economic Pressures

• Orphaned or semi-orphaned girls often take on caregiving roles for siblings.
• Forced into household labour or daily wage work at a young age.
• Financial constraints prevent continued education.

Every day, women and children living with HIV navigate immense challenges with remarkable strength and resilience. In India, more than 8 lakh women and over 68,000 children are living with HIV. Many among them battle anaemia, malnutrition, and other health complications, often compounded by a lack of access to proper nutrition and essential healthcare.

End AIDS India Campaign has committed to changing this narrative. Through our Campaign, we aim to provide nutrition kits specifically designed to support a healthy life for both mothers and children.

What Does the Nutrition Kit Include?

Our kits are thoughtfully curated to meet the unique needs of women and children living with HIV. Each kit includes:

• High-fiber foods to promote digestive health.
• High-protein nutrition to support immune system function and overall strength.
• Iron-rich supplements to address anaemia, ensuring adequate folic acid intake for better health outcomes.

Comprehensive Counselling Services

Nutrition is just one part of the equation. For women and children living with HIV, the right guidance and support can make all the difference. Our professional counsellors provide holistic advice and resources, including:

• The Importance of Nutrition: Guidance on incorporating nutrient-dense foods into daily diets.
• ART (Antiretroviral Therapy) Adherence: Strategies to ensure consistent medication for managing HIV.
• Regular Health Checkups: Education on the benefits of routine medical care.
• Protection and Prevention Advice: Awareness of how to prevent further health complications and transmission.
• Mental Health Counselling: Emotional support to manage the psychological challenges associated with living with HIV.
