In Karnataka there are 11000 children living with HIV/AIDS, most of these children can live normal full enriching lives with proper nourishment, medicine and necessary care in a loving environment. With this background the charity we are supporting this year …..
- Infant Jesus Home for HIV children is located in Kothanur, Bangalore.
- Currently has 75 children and staff and helpers to support the needs of the children and the home.
- Every child is either HIV infected or an orphan child of HIV parents.
- They are looked after by the sisters of Deena Charitable Trust, sent to the local school for education and followed up for their treatment etc.
- During COVID, there was a big setback in the financial support to this home and the Sisters struggled a lot.
- While they got food rations, there is a huge and urgent need to do maintenance work in the home, get new beds, tables etc. for the children.
- There is also a need for the children to have regular counselling as there is still a lot of stigma. depression and anxiety. Their education and medical needs also cost money.
