How Does It Work?

Thank you!

A contribution to this cause has been made by our partners. 100% of all allocated money is distributed through organizations working hard in undertaking various projects and schemes for fighting AIDS.

" There are an estimated 2 to 5 million people infected with HIV in India today, and 50,000 to 100,000 cases of AIDS may have already occurred in the country. "

"An allocation of Rs 180 crore has been made for the HIV and AIDS control programme, finance minister Yashwant Sinha told the Lok Sabha."
