In 2006, in the makeshift AIDS hospice created in the clinic across the street from where Home of Hope now resides, were parents who had no one to whom they could leave their children after they died. Our first five orphans lived at the clinic and slept on the floor of a converted closet for more than a year. Over the past two years, kids have come from local villages and far away districts – we even have a few children who came from Karnataka the neighboring state. Their parents gone and no extended family to take them in, they now all live in the home as a family. In 2011, we reached capacity with 60 children. Living India’s Home of Hope is the only orphanage in rural Andhra Pradesh established and maintained by an NGO specifically for orphans infected with HIV/AIDS.
