Desire Society

Desire Society through Its Child Nutrition & Healthcare Programme helps to provide nutritious food to support the children suffering from HIV/AIDS which is an important constituent for proper treatment.

Summer camps are held in the month of May every year at the Desire Society premises where children get together and enjoy themselves.

The camps are held for a duration of three to four days and recently included camel rides, The children are at liberty to play and interact with each other and generally celebrate the occasion. On completion of the event, all children leave with a kit of nutrition supplements and educational material along with school bags.

This is a programme providing shelter, food and healthcare to HIV/AIDS affected children, in addition to these basic facilities education and social security are also provided within the home.

The children brought to this facility are under constant medical observation by the healthcare teams. Orphans and destitute children are given special preference in the programme. Drug adherence forms an important part of the stay at the home, with a five-member review committee analyzing the situation and advising on a step-by-step treatment schedule.

This programme also aims to support children socio-emotionally through counselling to keep up their spirits and introduce positivity in their lives along with motivating them to attend school.
