Awareness, care and dignity — “Blossoming Flower”
In rural areas, low awareness of how HIV/AIDS spreads keeps transmission going. In 2006, Selvam and Koen started an HIV/AIDS programme in Vilandai-Andimadam called Blossoming Flower — awareness, care and support for everyone affected.
Care that meets people where they are
The programme centres on Home-Based Care (HBC) and an annual Income Generating Programme (IGP). Adults, youth and children attend regular training and counselling that raises awareness and reduces stigma.
To reach the youngest with the attention they need, Selvam and Koen created a dedicated programme for children and youth called “Little Stars” — setting them up for a healthy, hopeful future.
