Jeevadaan is a care and support center for HIV/AIDS, established by the society of the Daughters of St. Camillus on 2nd February 2004 to provide care and support for HIV/AIDS infected and abandoned women and children. The centre was started with the primary objective of providing residential care for HIV/AIDS infected women and children and facilitate community care. Almost all our inmates are from economically weaker section of society and rejected from the family members.
Jeevadaan has the facility to provide services for fifty inpatients at a time. We extend medical services, nutritional care and psycho-social service, and enable them to restore their self-esteem and self confidence. Vocational Trainings provided for the destitute women include tailoring, flowers, candles and envelopes making, kitchen- garden and poultry. Children are given regular classes in our center up to 4th standard following the state syllabus, and then sent to the nearby schools for their continuum of education. Jeevadaan is also involved in outreach programmes to sensitize the community on HIV/AIDS with the help of social work interns. Jeevadaan functions as the sub-centre of Snehasadan in the Samastha project focusing on Destitute women and OVC |
