Guwahati: After her mother died from AIDS two months ago, a four-year-old girl in Assam was entrusted to her paternal uncle and aunt who live about 60 kilometres away from Guwahati in Lower Assam.
Two weeks ago, she was discovered by an NGO in a shed along with goats. She was made to eat from their bowl. She weighed less than eight kilograms.
The NGO brought her to a community centre in Guwahati, where people living with HIV are taken care of.
Records show that Assam has 70 orphans who lost their parents to AIDS. What makes their situation worse is that they are HIV positive as well, which means that they cannot be sent to regular orphanages.
