Since 2004 AIDS medication is now free in Thailand. However most families cannot afford the costs of travelling to the main hopsital in Chiang Mai for monthly check-ups. So this is where the charity steps in and provides transportation costs and related expenses. This allows an infected child and their carer to make the monthly check-ups insuring they stay healthy.

SOCIAL WORKERS

funding two full time social workers who visit the supported children at least once a month to deliver supplies and check on their health, foster family and general wellbeing.

WELFARE SUPPORT

from supplementary groceries and hygiene needs, to school uniforms, shoes and equipment such as books and pencils, to school lunches.

TRANSPORTATION COSTS

bus fares to school and in some cases provision of bicycles for children more than 5km from their school.

SUPPORT FOR HIV

infected symptomatic children to obtain medical treatment for HIV related secondary infections such as pneumonia.

SUSTAINING SELF-HELP COMMUNITY GROUPS

which provide support for HIV infected mothers and the carers of HIV infected or affected children.
