Chaitanya Educational and Rural Development Society

Programme Objective: Strengthen the immunization system and increase the life span of HIV/Aids infected people

Problem: HIV does not only affect individuals, but the whole family. The financial burden of HIV can be enormous on a family, especially if several family members are sick. Many HIV patients also report losing their livelihood after being diagnosed with HIV. The combination of decreasing income and increasing health care costs may prevent the family living with HIV from getting their basic needs met. The epidemic disrupts livelihoods, affecting productive activities and increasing the household dependency ratio (due to disease and orphans), and resulting in increased food insecurity and malnutrition.

CERDS Initiative: A bag of nutrition provisions containing raagi powder, wheat ravva, red gram dall, eggs and a personal hygiene.kit is provided to target woman  / child every month. And also sensitise the people infected HIV/Aids to get proper health and medical support from concern linked ART Centres timely.
