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.
