[Guest guest]

Dear Forum Members,

We are encouraged and motivated to share this information with all of you that

Positive Women Network of Rajasthan (PWNR+) has been formally started. PWNR+ is

legally registered society under Rajasthan Society Registration Act. 1958 with

operational areas spread all over Rajasthan state. PWNR+ is formed by and for

People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Rajasthan. The primary objectives of

PWNR+ are to improve the quality of life for PLWHA, especially women in

Rajasthan. PWNR+ is entirely organized and managed by people specially women

living with HIV/AIDS in Rajasthan.

PWNR+ aims to improve the socio-economic status and quality of life of PLWHAs in

Rajasthan by providing opportunities for their empowerment, skill building,

training and taking control of issues affecting their lives. Empowerment of

PLWHAs concerns not only health related issues but the protection of their Human

Rights, involvement in the development of policy, non-discriminatory access to

the legal and health care system and the education of the wider community.

For effectively and successfully reaching the objectives, PWNR+ has already

started its efforts and work to establish District Level and Block Level Network

of PWNR+ with an integrated approach for their overall socio-economic

development and strengthening including issues related with their health and

human rights etc. Different committees i.e. Ethical Committee, Technical

Committee and Executive Council etc. have also been formed.

We the members of PWNR+ are extremely positive about receiving your all possible

support and guidance to strengthen and develop our Network in Rajasthan.

We are looking forward for your kind support and guidance in above regard.

With Regards

Sincerely Yours

Members of PWNR+

Dear friends,

Congratulations for this initiative and I am sure this will give an

opportunity to these women to live with dignity making positive

contributions to the society.

As you may be aware that we are running a hospice for children with HIV

at Gwalior (just next door to Rajasthan) and shall be starting a care

home " Snehalaya " soon for disabled and destitute children, homeless

women and the aged details on www.helpchildrenofindia.org

We will be happy to accept any of these women to live with us in our facilities,

if any one needs a place to live. We shall provide for ARV treatment if

required. They will help us in our work and live with dignity with meaning full

life and contributions to the society.

Please ask any one who needs help to contact us or let me know with their

details. We will be happy to make necessary travel arrangements too if required.

Thanks,
