Since
2010
RAYS – “Aasha ki ek Kiran” was founded in 2010, with a vision of changing the social perspective towards HIV+ people, especially children. In our dist Read moreant memories, we all remember the time when Shabana Azmi appeared on National TV, clutching onto a HIV+ child, encouraging people to break the vicious social taboo of shunning & discarding them. Soon after, NACO came into existence in the year 1992, and thus began a formal quest within this country to fight this disease & its strong prejudices. NACO wasn’t alone in this fight and many others joined in the fight against HIV/AIDS. We at RAYS, have been engaged in this area since 2010, with the genuine intent of igniting inclusiveness in our society towards HIV+ affected people, and specifically focused on children. This is what has brought together a group of individuals with diverse backgrounds to seed, support, nurture and grow this entity.
Action
At present our 2 care-giving homes are in Jaipur, and house 40 children comprising 30 boys & 10 girls. Also providing support to about 20 needy children for their education and other needs. These children come from all parts of Rajasthan, with 1 child from as far as Gujarat. A novel idea to empower even the adult HIV+ people especially women, has been realized by employing them as caretakers at our homes. Monthly visits to ART centers at state hospital along with visits by specialists are ensured. These homes serve not only as a sanctuary for these kids and their caretakers, but we have strived to make the home as a place that is always buzzing with liveliness and positive energy. Our daily routine includes morning prayers, a period of reflection, games, recreation, theatre activities & craft classes, to name a few. We ensure that all festivals are celebrated through-out the year with great fervour and joy.
