oin hands to help them… let us forge bonds of community solidarity. Individuals living with HIV are an integral part of society; like everyone else, they deserve equal rights and social acceptance. However, the disease often sets their lives back. With adequate love and care, both they and their dependents can lead a good life. This realization formed the basis for the establishment of the Karunyadipam Society, which includes the beneficiaries and their family members.
