MESSAGE
HIV/AIDS is one of the major public health problems in India. The HIV
epidemic has spread to all sections of society including men, women and children.
Children living with HIV/AIDS often find themselves in circumstances where they
have to care for their elders and siblings. These children need support at all stages
of their lives.
Life Skills Education (LSE) is an important activity which enables children to
identify the problems in their lives, think of probable solutions and practice them.
The LSE toolkit developed by USAID/FHI discusses the various situations related to
HIV risk through child partcipatory activites. It also discusses the situation of
children living with HIV/AIDS and affected families.
I think this would be a useful tool for the Ministry in its HIV/AIDS programme.
I commend the efforts of USAID/FHI in developing this document.
(DEEPA JAIN SINGH)
