OFFER has undertaken the “Atmaja” to strengthen community awareness and education initiatives on HIV to reach more women and children. Continue to improve access to rapid HIV testing, enabling prompt initiation of treatment for HIV positive mothers and children. Foster peer support networks to provide emotional support and guidance to HIV positive mothers. We started planning in 2018 to implement this initiative as OFFER outreach program named, “Atmaja”.
OFFER was working on Atmaja – born out of soul, the way out towards eliminating vertical infection from India. Under this programme, OFFER was catering to HIV positive prospective mothers with the latest in HIV treatment so that they can give birth to children not having HIV. In India a large number of children are carrying the virus. This innovation, Project ATMAJA will lead to a dawn when any children of a HIV positive mother will see the lights of this earth having no infection. The primary objective is to eliminate new HIV infection among children and keep their mothers alive and healthy.
