In Goa, children orphaned by HIV are reportedly left without adequate support, raising concerns about their welfare.
In Goa, a growing number of children have lost parents to HIV and are reportedly left in the shadows, with limited access to care and support. The situation has drawn attention from local health authorities and community groups, who note gaps in the existing welfare framework. Many of these children face challenges in education, nutrition, and emotional well-being, as they lack formal guardianship and financial assistance. The issue underscores the need for targeted interventions to ensure that HIV orphans receive the protection and resources they require.
