HIV+ Children's Home

Back2Back is now helping serve Red Rock children's homes. One is HIV+ and the other is HIV- but the children's parents are HIV+. The house parents of these children felt called to serve children affected by HIV.

This was my first time to Red Rock. It really hurt my heart to see the HIV+ children, to know their situation and that they are suffering. It is very difficult to witness these things. God is teaching me strength through all of this. I wouldn't be able to get through it without Him.

Through various donations, of people who have been on a trip to India and those who just have a heart for India, a van was purchased for the HIV+ children's home. A little background information on that home's situation is that they were having to rely on the neighbors to take the children to the hospital for check-ups and medication. There are 10 children in the home and being HIV+ they required many hospital visits. Through people's giving we were able to provide transportation for this children's home.


Some of the children in this home are in the early stages of the disease and others are in the last stage. The correct precautions and best care is given to these children so they can have the best life possible. If these house parents wouldn't have taken these children in, they would be on the street suffering. Schools wouldn't allow them in because of being HIV+. A teacher has been hired and is home-schooling the children. Sangeetha and Reshma are the two I know of right now that are in the last stage of the disease. Please pray for their health.
