ABOUTTHE CARE HOME
UP’s first residential care home of orphan children living with HIV/AIDS

These children are often neglected and ostracized by society and abandoned by their relatives too. Presently, there are 11

excellent performance. Meals are cooked at the centre wherein well-balanced nutrition meals are provided to these children.
For their overall development, yoga classes are organised three times per week, sports are encouraged and other develop-
ment programmes are organised time to time. Doctors, teachers, students and others have shown a keen interest to volunteer
their time with these children.
