More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
HIV/AIDS is spreading quickly in India, with 5 million infected adults. As in other poor countries, this will result in millions of orphaned and destitute children. Well-meaning people began to take in neighborhood children, but the need quickly outruns their resources. With help, these small projects can grow into a network of local care providers who can rescue great numbers of children. HEART House, which now cares for 26 orphans, is poised to expand, but needs our help.
Activities
The orphanage will build a second floor on the existing structure to provide additional living space for the children. Little Hearts will provide training, education to local HIV+ mothers and children. They will fight stigma.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
In the next few years, the need for services for AIDS orphans will become more acute throughout India. This project provides education and hope to children who without this had nothing. They can now grow up to be productive / proud citizens.
Project Message
Whenever I see a child begging on the streets, my heart starts breaking into pieces.

Latest Update from the Field
News
By C.P. Kumar - Director - Little Hearts, May 01, 2009 03:18 PM
At present we have been feeding 38 children. Among them most of the children are HIV/AIDS full orphans and some of them are abandoned.
Feeding them with nutritious food like Milk, Egg, Fruits, Snacks and once in a week Chicken or Fish. To wash clothes of little ones we have engaged one woman, to teach all subjects engaged 2 tutors in addition to government school and to take care of maintenance recently we have appointed another male figure who is 28 years old and also full orphan. He is staying with the children at little hearts.
In February, Chandra Reddy Degree College final year students presented little hearts Refrigerator worth of 10,000 but that's not sufficient to keep things. So from our fund we have added another 5000 rupees and bought 15000 rupees worth double door refrigerator.
From this academic year which begins on 12th June, we are planning to provide them with very good education. To suceed in our lives on this planet, we need to have EDUCATION.
Many thanks to al our donors!
