Micro Care Trust
is an independent, non-commercial, non-profit group working to improve
access to information about HIV/AIDS in BARODA We are developing a
network of mostly INDIAN journalists, translators, NGO-workers, and
of course people living with HIV/AIDS to gather, translate, and disseminate
the latest information about the AIDS epidemic. All are currently
working as volunteers, though we hope to add full-time paid staff
if we can secure funding for our operations.
Micro Care Trust will work with
all Ngo and government sector to provide best care and tertiary treatment
to all aids patients.
Prevention is better then cure. And effective way to prevent is ABC

Distribution
of condoms and promotion of proper use: This activity,
currently undertaken on a small scale by Micro Care Trust, will be
expanded. Its goal will be to increase availability and accessibility,
particularly in rural areas where community volunteers serve as valued
outreach condom distributors and promoters of usage. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Support home
care for people living with HIV/AIDS: Focus will be on
training family members in basic medical care, first aid and support
techniques for home care of the illness. While this approach has been
implemented in small scale projects, the Micro Care Trust will be
expanding coverage throughout Gujarat. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Strengthen local
support mechanisms for AIDS orphans: In collaboration with
other partners, the Micro Care Trust will assist communities in strengthening
their traditional coping methods to address the problem of children
orphaned by the AIDS pandemic. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Prevention of
HIV/AIDS infection in complex emergencies: Reproductive
health in complex emergencies is of primary concern to Micro Care
Trust. Disruption of societal structures, family units and sexual
networks; sexual interaction with military; sexual violence, coercive
sex; and psychological trauma all add to the vulnerability of refugees
and displaced people, with whom the Micro Care Trust is in daily contact.
