GRACE OF Kiran Foundation works through capacity building, knowledge sharing, technical support and advocacy to support the delivery of effective, innovative, community-based HIV and other health programs.

This is to encourage early testing and lifestyle changes that will thereby reduce and prevent further infection.Leprosy
Our work at GRACE OF GLORY MINISTRY TRUST is driven by our focus on leprosy, with the sole purpose of enabling children, women, and men affected by leprosy and other neglected diseases to transform their lives and overcome poverty and prejudice. Leprosy is a neglected and communicable disease that is curable. However, if undetected or ignored, affected persons face a high risk of disabilities, medical complications, and ulcers. Also, the affected face stigma, social exclusion, mental health issues, and high economic costs – both direct (related to treatment and rehabilitation) and indirect (loss of income).Save Living With HIV/Aids Children's Program
Activitie Since pediatric formulations were not available, majority of the children living with HIV/AIDS were not able to get proper nutrition and treatment in India. Another big concern for those working in the field of HIV/AIDS is to reach out to the large number of children who have not been tested and who could be potential carriers of the virus. Identifying children who are vulnerable to HIV infection and verifying their status would therefore be a priority in this program. Currently this project is able to support up to 60 children in Mumbai.Core activities of the project:
Nutritional SupportDiagnosis of HIV infection in infants and children

The HIV/AIDS pandemic is into its third decade. Over 3 million people in India are currently infected with HIV. According to Health Ministry of India nearly 70000 children living with HIV/AIDS. 70% of the children lose the parents to the disease. These children not only have to live without love and support of a parent but they have to find their ownway through uncertainity. There may not be a cure for AIDS yet, but we still have the power to help rewrite the future of thousands of children in India.
