Palawi project has so many remarkable and success stories to share. Very often people ask us why we care for such (HIV positive) orphan children who are going to die sooner or later. Our answer is a BIG NO! to such thinking. By encouraging the child, we help them to accomplish what they are meant to be, and that would lead to more value being added to the society. Before coming to Palawi, 90% of the children were either school dropout or was not able to attend the school because of their health conditions .now, all the children above 5 years are getting a formal education in our very own Educational Unit at Palawi. Since getting a formal education for HIV – Positive kids at any formal school was strenuous due to social stigma attached to it.By 2013 the Educational Unit was developed from Class 1st-10th. We have a flourishing school with 7 teachers and 5 Virtual classrooms. Each child at Palawi is encouraged since very young age to be skilled in their area of interest. They are advocated and guided to become an agent of change and, just to our expectation, the adult residents of Palawi have been helping in other social projects of Prabha Hira Pratishthan. They are understanding the true meaning of " giving back to society".
Most of the girls in project Palawi were admitted here in the residential care home with a very brutal and harsh experiences in their past lives. Some of them being raped or physically abused by their distant relatives. Many of them were tortured and forced to do all household work after their parents have died. They were refused admission into school. These girls are no longer in threat of being raped or ill-treated by any relatives. They are no longer ashamed of themselves. Continuous counselling and support from the organization in every possible way has definitely changed their mind and their life. It is great to see our girls confident, healthy, smart and educated. They are working as teachers, care givers, fashion designers etc. It is indeed a proud moment for us.
