The Aashray Care Home was established in 2006 by the Positive Women Network of Rajasthan. Harassment and stigma issues necessitated starting a residence for children impacted by HIV/AIDS. Schools were not admitting them, house owners were not renting out houses to them and they could not be found any place in our National Flagship Programs designed for child survival and protection.
The Aashray home is a home for HIV infected and affected orphan children who have been rejected by their near ones due to discrimination, death of a parent, or their family´s financial problems.
