HIV prevention is a public health priority and essential for the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. We understand the need to reduce stigma and discrimination and to ensure equal access to healthcare services for those affected by HIV and AIDS.
To this end, Snehalaya has taken a number of initiatives to help spread awareness and support HIV prevention efforts. Throughout the year, we have provided support to those affected by HIV and AIDS, helping them to access healthcare services and providing emotional and psychological support. We have also provided financial assistance and Food kit to help the PLHIV.
We are committed to continuing our work in HIV prevention, and we hope that our efforts will help to reduce the impact of HIV and AIDS on individuals, families and communities. We believe that with continued education and awareness, we can all make a difference.
