Empowering AIDS/HIV Affected Children

Empowering the HIV/AIDS Affected Children of Karnataka

S&S Charity seeks to work with organization to support children in the state of Karnataka suffering from AIDS

What's happening in Karnataka?

The lives of these children seem so hopeless, and much of the charity work done in India to help AIDS-affected children is targeted toward hospice care and helping them die with dignity. This does not need to be the reality of AIDS care in India. In our lifetime, medicine has discovered many ways to extend the lifespan of AIDS patients and while these medicines are readily available and used in the West, adulthood still remains out of the price range for these children in India. Of the funds raised, 100% will go directly to purchasing first line HIV medications that will extend the life expectancy of these children.

How is S&S Charity responding?

 

Professional Development Workshops: Organize workshops and training sessions for educators in Kayole. These workshops could cover topics such as effective teaching strategies, classroom management, technology integration, and special needs education.

Mentorship Programs: Pair experienced educators with newer ones for mentorship. This can provide guidance, advice, and a space to discuss challenges and successes.

Technology Integration: Provide training on how to effectively use technology in the classroom. This could involve teaching educators how to use educational apps, online resources, and interactive tools to enhance the learning experience.

Upgrading Infrastructure: Focus on providing basic amenities such as clean water, sanitation facilities, and proper drainage systems to improve living conditions.

We know that sustainable support requires ongoing efforts and a deep understanding of the local context. S&S Charity commits to engage with educators and locals to identify their needs and work collaboratively to implement effective strategies that will uplift the education system in Kayole, Nairobi as well as improve their quality of life.
