Our History
“Om Prakash Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS”, was formed by a 23 years old positive person who lost every hope in life as he was thrown out of village Dhosi, Dharbanga district of Bihar in 1995. Sahil struggled in Delhi staying at railway stations for 6 years working at hotels till 2005.He connected to NGOs but still could not make his livelihood. All this harassment didn’t stop him to work for benefit of PLHIVs in Delhi, thus formed the network and registered the society under Societies Act of XXI, 1860. Since, then the network is tirelessly and selflessly working for the welfare of people from marginalised communities and needs of fellow positive people."
Empowering the PLHIV and poor from marginalized communities through human rights
We work for the survival and improving the lifestyle of PLHIV and for empowering women, girls and people living in marginalised communities. The organisation was established in 2007. Sahil, a 25-year old from Darbhanga in Bihar has no rancour or bitterness as he talks about getting infected through blood transfusion.
Carving out a new identity for himself in a new city, he found the motivation to live and be of use to others, like him. He has experienced stigma and discrimination but is hopeful that with the support of media, communities will understand the infection better and accept positive people, in their fold. Also he is convinced that we all need to spread more awareness regarding HIV, TB, Hep-B/Hep-C and various other infections by campaigning, dialog and proper hygienic practices so that there are fewer cases of such infections. Presently, Sahil with his team works for the betterment of poor, PLHIVs, for the rights of children, people from marginalised coummunities and for empowering women.
