Highlights of the week
Trust-Based Philanthropy
In the face of increasingly complex and, sometimes rapidly, changing needs on the ground, it is crucial to take a step back and reconsider the status quo.
APAC Sustainability Seed Fund 2.0
By leveraging the success of the first round of the APAC Sustainability Seed Fund, AVPN continues to mobilise continuum of capital into supporting climate solutions in the region.
Faith and Giving
Faith, and the values, belief systems, moral codes, and religious doctrines, that underlie it, shape much of philanthropy across the world. From addressing needs in underserved communities to investing in sustainable energy solutions, faith-aligned givers are demonstrating that compassion can be a catalyst for a more just and equitable world. However, the fundamental drivers of faith-aligned giving often remain unexamined.

This project will allow the India HIV/AIDS Alliance to create a Care and Support Center (CSC), which will cater exclusively to the needs of women and children living with HIV/AIDS. This will provide them with a stigma-free environment to receive timely treatment from a staff that is sensitized to meet their needs. It is expected that approximately 4,000 women living with HIV/AIDS and 1,200 of their children will have access to services through this center. This project will fund the CSC's activities for a full year, as it provides the following essential services:
1) Counseling Services: Women and children will be able to meet with a trained counselor and receive guidance on treatment adherence, positive living and prevention, reproductive health, nutrition and health counseling, as well as counseling for families and adolescents.
2) Advocacy Services: The CSC will work to strengthen referral linkages to ensure that there are no gaps in the holistic care of the women and children in its charge. These activities will include: HIV/AIDS Sensitization Trainings for health care providers in Delhi, helping women and children access social welfare schemes and government services, connecting with legal services providers such as DALSA (District Legal Service Authority) and SALSA (State Legal Service Authority) to secure free legal aid to clients in need, as well as focus group discussions and participation in village committee meetings to better understand the community's needs.
3) Creating an Enabling Environment: The CSC will form "Mothers' Clubs" among women, and "Buddy Groups" among children to facilitate a support system within the community. Leaders will be identified and trained to become community spokespeople to advocate within and outside their community. Visitors to the Center may also receive vocational training, and participate in a job fair to link needy women living with HIV to prospective employers.
4) Assessment of Women and Children with Special Needs: Within 6 months of the project's start, the CSC will complete an assessment to determine the number of number of women and children who might have special needs (examples could be sex workers, I.V. drug users, widows, and women whose children live in care homes). The assessment will provide an estimated number of special needs cases, their risk practices, and their service needs.
