When Hands are Extend...
Many Hands are Strengthened
Aawaaz started as a small movement for the voiceless in 2004, slightly over a decade ago. In all this time, it has been our relentless effort to make the voice of the voiceless heard among policy makers at all levels and among the general population. For the many voiceless, it was like an avalanche of change. Through welfare and empowerment, their lives have changed for the better.
Malnourishment among children - a ‘silent emergency’
Malnourishment among children which is claimed by many in our country as a ‘silent emergency’ takes the toll on many young ones especially those under 6 years.
How can someone thrive empty stomach?
No child must go hungry. Aawaaz addresses the basic right of children to receive nutrition for good health and physical development.
If not we then who can help these children
Due to various reason and situations beyond control many children face challenges in accessing the facilities under the ICDS programs, which results in them experiencing malnutrition. This situation highlights the provision of essential services for children’s health and well-being, potentially leading to long-term detrimental effects on their physical and cognitive development.
About us
We are in mission to help people in needs.
In the six feeding centers for children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in Nadia, Bardhaman, Howrah, Hooghly, South 24 Paraganas, and North 24 Paraganas Districts, the children receive a monthly ration of nutritious food. This includes 8 kg of rice, 500g of Masoor dal, 500g of Mustard Oil, 500g of Soyabean, 1 dozen eggs, and a packet of biscuits. The children’s consistent growth and improved health is an inspiration, as they have shown an increase in their height and weight, and the CD4 counts have gradually increased, making them better able to resist symptomatic infections. Even in the face of new cases, ten percent of the rations are set aside to meet the emergency nutritional needs of these children.

Feeding Resilience: Your Donation Ensures Meals for Children with HIV/AIDS
Children affected by HIV have unique nutritional needs due to the impact of the virus on their immune system and overall health. Proper nutrition supports their immune function, growth, and development.
These children need specialized care and support to thrive physically, emotionally, and socially. Despite medical advancements, comprehensive assistance and resources are still necessary. By fostering an environment of understanding, empathy, and access to proper resources, we can help these children lead fulfilling lives.
Livelihood Trainings for parents of children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS
It is imperative to understand the critical role livelihood opportunities play in the lives of parents with children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS.
These opportunities not only provide much-needed economic stability but also significantly improve the overall quality of life for these families. They are instrumental in fostering community development, empowering individuals, facilitating access to services, contributing to prevention efforts, and enabling long-term planning.
They have the right to go to school but they need your support to get education
It’s crucial to understand that children with HIV+ parents face specific challenges that demand our attention and support. By providing the necessary resources, we can help these children lead happier and healthier lives.
Education is one area which can help these children survive even when their parents are not there to support them.
The schools do provide some concessions and support but still there are expenses like books, dress, transportation and of course tiffin
A new school bag and a bottle can bring sparkle in every child's eye
As we work with these children infected/affected by HIV/AIDS we see that these small gifts make these kids happy and bring a sense of belonging into their lives.
The emotional and spiritual happiness that one feels when any such child smiles with joy hiding behind the trauma of their daily struggles can bring a sense of accomplishment which is unexplainable.

Breaking the Stigma: Supporting Children Living with HIV
Living with HIV has long been associated with stigma, perpetuating myths and misconceptions that isolate those affected. Children living with the virus continue to face unique challenges in their everyday lives. Supporting them requires understanding, empathy, and inclusivity. Families, schools, healthcare providers, and communities must work together to create safe and inclusive environments where these children feel accepted and supported. It’s essential to provide access to comprehensive healthcare services, including antiretroviral therapy (ART), which can effectively manage HIV and enable children to live long and healthy lives. By promoting accurate information and challenging misconceptions, we can foster a more inclusive society supporting the dignity of all individuals, regardless of their HIV status.
