HIV positive children are one of the most vulnerable groups of abandoned kids. Many are orphans who have been thrown out of their homes by family members who fear infection and social stigma. On the streets they are exploited and abused, have no access to health care, and are discriminated against and stigmatised.
As Mr. Vasant Kunjar and family started growing with more children coming home, Mr. Kunjar took the tough decision to take care of HIV/AIDS patients including kids in the age group of 5 to 17 years. His wife Mrs. Sumitra Kunjar is a pillar of strength and constant supporter. She monitors the health of the children with the help of doctors, cooks their meals, and is their emotional crutch — the children call her Mummy.
