Please donate today to help rescue a baby abandoned because of HIV

One more child. One more safe place. One more future changed.​​ Before children can become leaders, will you help rescue them from the hardest places?

The team are in desperate need of:

 

  • 36 New mattresses (Essential for infection control)

  • Rescue Packs (Bedding, soap, and a toy)

  • Medicine & blood tests for HIV-affected babies & children

 

Your gift today ensures that when the next little one arrives, we have a mattress and a rescue pack waiting for them.

Mithran, Kaaviya, and Kabilan* were living on the street with their mother who was HIV positive. She was dying from TB and cancer, abandoned by her husband. There was no one to care for her children.

The children were simply watching her slip away on the dirty streets.

Quickly, the team stepped in to rescue them. Each child was given a clean warm bed, blankets, and a "Rescue Pack" with soap, a toothbrush, and a cuddly toy. After weeks on the dirty streets, they finally felt safe.

But right now, they are running out of the very things that make children feel safe. The mattresses are worn, and supplies are low. For babies and toddlers affected by HIV, a "clean bed" isn't a luxury—it’s a medical necessity to protect them from infection.

Please give what you can today.
