HIV infection is entirely preventable through effective awareness-raising. Raising awareness about its occurrence and spread is crucial for protecting people from the epidemic. Such awareness efforts lead to behavior change and promote prevention. The program aims to reach 80% of high-risk groups and 95% of young people. Awareness camps are conducted on topics such as TB, smoking, and general health and fitness in colleges, community centers, and other public places.

Sahara Aalhad operates a 15-bed Care Home equipped with a panel of specialists, including a pulmonologist, psychiatrist, physiotherapist, clinical psychologist, clinical dietitian, and general physician.

We have around 1,000 widows and orphaned children registered with us. Often, when a mother falls gravely ill, there is no one available to care for her or her children, especially as she must continue working to support her family. In such cases, the family is admitted to our Care Home. There, we provide quality treatment, care, and support, enabling the mother to recover and return to her daily life as quickly as possible.
