Millennium Fellowship Project: HIV Little Stars Educational Curriculum

Our project focuses on the HIV+ youth in the rural village of Andimadam, India who are part of our partner organization called "Little Stars," which is named after the youth to remind them of their potential to shine bright like a star and achieve their goals in life despite their HIV+ status. This community observes a disproportionate prevalence of HIV/AIDS cases, but faces issues that inhibit the control of HIV/AIDS, including social and cultural stigma and misconceptions that perpetuate misinformation about the disease, prevents open discussions about the topic, and weakens family support for the children to consistently adhere to their HIV medication regimen. To address these specific community needs, we intend to work with the HIV Little Stars staff to collect quantitative and qualitative data of the community to produce a community-centered, self-sustainable intervention solution, and hope the success of this solution can be used as a model for future interventions for other rural communities with limited resources. Specifically, we are hoping to create an educational curriculum, including pamphlets, presentation meetings, open group/community discussions, and interactive activities for both the children and adults, to debunk myths, disseminate accurate knowledge, and combat the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS.
