Pivotal for the family. Pivotal for the society
Healthy families serve the society better as an extension of their healthy lifestyle. HIV disproportionately affects women and adolescent girls because of vulnerabilities created by unequal cultural, social and economic status. YRGCARE has introduced a number of initiatives to address issues faced by women and adolescent girls living with HIV.
Support women and adolescent girls living with HIV.
Transformative experiences. Happy children.
Camp Rainbow, a project of YRGCARE, is a psychosocial intervention delivered through the vehicle of residential camps and day camps. Children living with HIV participate in HIV education and traditional camp activities aimed at enhancing campers' adherence to treatment and medication. Campers (children with HIV, cancer, and other chronic illnesses) have had transformative experiences with Camp Rainbow and they are always eager to attend follow up sessions to meet their friends again.
Support children living with HIV and other chronic illnesses.
Suniti Solomon
Educational Fund
Right from the time she started working, Suniti Solomon funded the education of the children of her maids, cook, gardener, and others in need who worked in her institution. Education was dear to her heart, as was the welfare of women who had to fight for their rights in what is very much still a patriarchal society. The Suniti Solomon Educational Fund's mission is to identify talented young women who have the scholastic credentials and show professional promise, but lack the money that is required for a medical education.
Support talented young women for their education.
