In the past few weeks, India’s COVID-19 crisis has taken a dramatic turn. India has reported record number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic. Deaths are on the rise. Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, YRGCARE has utilised its skills and knowledge of almost 3 decades within the clinic, lab and community to meet with the increasing needs of a new pandemic - testing and clinical care, PPE and other protective provisions, awareness and preventive measures to reduce the impact on households and communities, food deliveries, nutritional hampers, etc.

During this hour, we should make sense of the current situation and uncover the actions that we can take to slow the spread and expedite services.

We require your support to help us meet with these and more emerging needs.

Women are pivotal for the health of any family as a social unit. 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. Women account for more than half the number of people living with HIV worldwide.

Mother to child transmission remains the most significant route of infection. Children living with HIV experience a range of psychosocial challenges. Responding to the psychosocial needs through effective child centric interventions is a key to help children recover their childhood, restore their hope and renew their sense of possibility.

YRGCARE offers treatment, general counselling, and psychosocial assistance to people living with HIV in India. The institution is committed to providing quality care and strives for the welfare of the communities it serves. YRGCARE has introduced a number of initiatives to address issues faced by women and children living with HIV.

Camp Rainbow, a project of YRGCARE, is a psychosocial intervention delivered through the vehicle of residential camps and day camps. It provides unique opportunity for children living with HIV to participate in HIV education and traditional camp activities aimed at enhancing campers' adherence to treatment and medication to improve their quality of life while it also focuses on providing children with serious fun, all free of charge. Campers have had transformative experiences at Camp Rainbow and they are eager to attend follow up sessions to meet their friends again. This helps them to build a positive approach towards themselves and others, develop life altering friendships and become confident leaders.

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. The number of women we would help depends on the funds collected. The candidates would be rigorously screened to meet our criteria.

Every year approximately around the month of June, we will provide the necessary funds to the candidates who have been selected to enable their education for that academic year. Thereafter, donations received by us will accumulate in the separate account that we have set up for this specific purpose until next June, when the funds would again be applied towards the medical students for the next academic year.

For those who would like to commit to sponsor a candidate from the time of her entry to medical college till the time she graduates, we will provide a photograph of the candidate and a brief annual report of her progress.
