"In so many ways, Thomas and his family have been significant members of our Snehagram Family. I thank them for their generous support and compassion for this wonderful cause. They have touched the hearts of all our children.” 

Mathew Perumpil (MI), Camillians, Founding Director, Snehagram

In 1997, Camillians in India started programs for the care and support of people living with HIV/AIDS due to the stigma and taboo associated with the infection, and a consequent denial of hospital treatment and rejection from the society experienced by those infected people through multiple locations across South India. In 2002, Camillians started the care of HIV infected orphan and vulnerable children (OVC) though an “interventionist” model providing them lodging, nutrition, education and healthcare with establishment of the Sneha schools for children with HIV in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Learn for Life Foundation (LFL) began its partnership with the Camillians Sneha Trust in 2012 by raising awareness about the need for holistic care for vulnerable children with HIV from disadvantaged communities. LFL is one of the primary supporters of the programs listed below:
