MAYA HOME and CASARANA HOME

The concept of Maya Home started that day with the idea to help all the HIV-positive children of the area. Some years later, due to the high number of children with HIV problems who needed shelter, a new home was established – Casarana. In Maya and Casarana Homes, we give shelter to both male and female children. First of all, we are very concentrated in providing them with a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutritious, tasty and healthy food (fruits, pulses, meat, fish, grains and eggs), which assists the children in fighting the HIV.  The health of children is monitored by a professional nurse who provides and administrates their daily medication and who takes them for regular health checks and periodical treatments at the appropriate specialised institutions. Also, the hygiene and the clean environment are ensured inside the homes.
