PROJECTS
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
Talented young people often in India, Kenya and Rwanda are stymied from future education due to poverty. Parents are poor or have died because of AIDS. Academic or government stipend supported scholarships are non-existent. Future students rely on donor sponsorship to create a future.
AIDS ORPHANS
The Gift of HOPE (Helping Orphans by Providing Essentials) program provides life's essentials to these Kenyan children in six main areas: health (including HIV & AIDS treatments), shelter, nutrition, education, safety, and personal support.
Regular programs ensure assistance to over 361 orphans.
WOMEN & CHILDREN
Tragically HIV is transmitted during the birth of babies and through a mother's milk during breast feeding. Through the free services of the Women and Children's Center in Namakkal, India, supervised by Professor N. M. Samuel, M.D., HIV transmisson is eliminated for new-born children because of the medical care and prevention program. Your gift helps supports this key program.
STREET CHILDREN
The Center is currently seeking to support the nutritional needs of children living on the streets in Kenya. Your donation could go toward providing food to these homeless children in need.
HIV FAMILIES CARE/SUPPORT

Society provides health care and
educational opportunities to women and
girls in rural India. Through the support
