THE PROBLEM
HIV is one of the most stigmatized and disciminated chronic disease. Due to the stigma, it become an obstacle in the life of positive living. Most of the HIV infected and affected children are from low income, broken families and suffering with poor academic performance as they are not attending school regularly due to poverty and discrimination due to their HIV status. Furthermore, some children are survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and some have engaged in delinquent activities. More than 80% of our beneficiaries are Muslim. For most children, mental health is very crucial and important as untreated conditions can lead to suicidal, depression and behavioural problems which can later lead to committing crimes. Moreover, countless of these children need personal mentorship to encourage them to complete high school. Most of the caregivers (mothers) are self-employed or unemployed due to their HIV status. Many of them are survivors of domestic violence where their husband are drug abusers who has been sentenced to prison. Drug abuse is a crime in Malaysia and due to this, many ex-convicted are unable to find job to provide for their family which leads the cycle of domestic and drug abuse to be continued again. This lead to depression , behavioral problem and other mental health issues. Many of these mothers are still facing self-stigma over their HIV status and previous history of drugs and abuse.
THE SOLUTION
Our 2nd Chance program provides psychosocial support and building resilience, to HIV infected and affected children and caregivers. We aim to provide sustainable care, hope and opportunities to poor mothers and children who are infected or affected by HIV. We are providing one on one and support group sessions to the children and women to help them to recover from the trauma, depression, anxiety and behavioural problems. Behavioural therapy is provided to guide the children to enjoy learning and help them to socialize, identify other cognitive issues. The program is designed creatively using various therapy methods either one to one or in group activities.
THE IMPACT
RM 36,000 will provide total of 720 individual counselling sessions in 6 months for 30 children infected and affected with HIV , survival of domestic and sexual abuse.
