Support an HIV+ Child

There are over 3000 HIV+ kids in Belagavi district alone that need support in terms of Nutrition, Education, Medicine and in some cases Shelter also. Quite a lot of these children have lost their parents to HIV and are orphans. Mahesh Foundation provides a shelter to about 40 orphans in Ashakiran Home at Belagavi. But there is a need for shelter for hundreds more HIV+ Children. We are building a new hostel cum school to accommodate these children. We are seeking financial support for enlightening their lives.

Mahesh Foundation provides Education, Nutrition, Medical support to over 1800 needy children. We also run a shelter for about 40 children with 50% girls in it. We are conducting AIDS/HIV awareness programs in 28 schools. We also offer a mechanism to handle discrimination for people living with HIV . We are starting skilling programs for HIV+ youth in order to make them self sufficient.

We have taken in children from 4 years of age and in critical health. We have not lost even one child in 7 years of our operation thus proving that kids with HIV can lead a long and productive life. We have saved widows from ending their life or getting into prostitution by counseling them at the right time. Currently 40 children are getting shelter at Mahesh Foundation, over 1800 kids get educational support and 350 kids get nutritional supplement.
