The plight of AIDS orphans in India is one of immeasurable complexities that destines children to die with the virus left unchecked and untreated. The debilitating stigma that surrounds HIV in India renders children orphaned by AIDS to be forcefully driven from their villages and left to fend for themselves. Located three hours outside of Hyderabad, the Chandrakal Orphanage has become home to nearly 60 HIV positive children who come from the most harrowing of circumstances – from being deserted on trains and quarantined in village huts, to fleeing antagonistic villages to survive. Keep a Child Alive has made it possible for these children to live in peace at the newly constructed orphanage, where they eat well-balanced meals, go to school for the first time and experience the once seeming impossibility of a normal life. Keep a Child Alive most recently purchased two 32-seat buses for the orphanage to ease the long, hard journey to Hyderabad every month where the children receive their life-saving ARV treatment. The government’s pediatric AIDS specialist has selected the Chandrakal Orphanage as their main site to refer children in need, and upholds their holistic model of care as a model for anyone caring for children with HIV in India.
