Description:
Shalom provides comprehensive care (physical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual) for people with HIV and other life-limiting illnesses.
HIV/AIDS causes unimaginable suffering and loss for thousands in Delhi. Shalom was established in 2001 to provide care for people living with HIV/AIDS in the city of Delhi. In 2011, its services were expanded to include people with other life-limiting diseases as well. Shalom targets those persons in society who are marginalized, as they are the ones who find it hardest to access care; hence, a large number of Shalom’s clients are from the economically poorer sections of society and services are provided to them at a highly subsidized cost.

SOCIAL ENTERPRISE:
Kirin Project is a social enterprise of Shalom Delhi. In light of the realities of living with HIV, Shalom initiated Kiran Project to decrease the sense of shame and helplessness that accompanies life-limiting illness through providing employment opportunities. In addition to employment, Kiran artisans are provided a safe place to come during the day, access to medical care and counseling, and a community of similarly-affected people.
