HIV Nutrition Support

Being HIV positive is no reason to live a negative life. We enable those who have been diagnosed as HIV positive to stop worrying about the essentials – providing them with rations of rice, wheat, daal,oil and protein and vitamin supplements. We have so far reached out to 55 HIV + cases and supported 150 people indirectly every month since the year 2010.All come from the economically weaker sections of the society and are below the poverty line taking ART treatment from DAPCU (Government of Maharashtra).

Neptune Foundation provides monthly ration which includes 3kg Toor Dal, 5kg Rice, 5kg Wheat, 2kg Green Moong, 1ltr Oil, 200grams Protein powder with monthly vitamin supplements to 55 patients who are HIV+ and are taking ART treatment from the DAPCU Centre. We also put them on different empowerment courses to enable them to earn while they learn.A regular follow up is done to keep the beneficiaries in a positive frame work of mind.

The kits provided to them have made positive impact on their physical and mental well-being.There has been a considerable improvement in their health as a result they the compliance towards the treatment has increased. We also get the beneficiaries registered on various government yojanas to make them economically independent with the empowerment courses happening hand in hand.Though we support 50 beneficiaries but actually we are supporting 150 lives as each beneficiary has at least one more family member staying with them.This project has come as a ray of hope for them who did not have any support to look at.
