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 reported losing their livelihood after being diagnosed with HIV. The combination of decreasing income and increasing health care costs may prevent the family from getting their basic needs. 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. So, we provide bag of nutritious provisions containing Raagi Powder, Wheat Rava, Wheat Flour, Red gram dal, Eggs and Cooking Oil which is distributed to HIV-affected people every month and also provides bathing and washing soaps for maintaining personal hygiene.
