After these women are trained they will get a chance to have income from the products which they will make. AIDS is posing to be a serious threat to the society with over 1 million people affected with this disease but the awareness about this disease is far too little. The program aims to spread the knowledge of this disease in schools, college, factory workers, truckers, in streets and to the people in the villages. The response from the people has been quite good and encouraging. When we first came to the villages we had thought that it would be quite difficult to talk to the people about AIDS because of the conservative society but over a period of time we have overcome this problem.
People know very little about the disease and hence there is a great interest to know more about it.
So this is in brief about the project. We are barely one year old and as such the project has taken a good start. But mobilizing the people, building their confidence is a slow process. A person who has not worked with the communities before may feel there is nothing much going on. But things do not move at a great speed as we expect them to work as we have to depend on the community .
