Manisha Singh Punarjeevan Niwash (MSPN) was started in 2006 as a treatment, care and educational center for children living with HIV and AIDS. MSPN aims to enhance, prolong and fulfill the days of infected children by offering food, lodging, care, and treatment free of cost for up to six months. The child’s caretaker also stays at the center and is provided with emergency treatment as well as food and lodging. During this time, caretakers are also given literacy and math classes, instruction on diet and nutrition for themselves and the children, and training on administering treatments. At MSPN, services are designed to provide holistic care, with medical, nutritional, and educational support for each child and caretaker as well as extra, fun activities for the children. Please see Our Care Model for more information. We additionally promote HIV awareness and prevention in rural Nepal. With additional funding, we hope to develop a preventative program to educate expectant mothers infected with the HIV virus on how to prevent the transmission to their newborn child.
The late Ms. Manisha Singh was a dedicated social worker who devoted her entire life to the welfare of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Punarjeevan Niwash means “New life Home,” and together, MSPN and FNC strive to continue the work of Manisha Singh by giving HIV-infected children a chance at life. MSPN has helped over 100 children since its inception in August, 2006. Children and caregivers gain not only the physical benefits from their stay at MSPN but they are also able to learn to manage their disease to live a full and meaningful life.

MSPN is an entirely charitable organization that subsists solely on voluntary contributions from humanitarians, funded primarily by Belgian NGO Fonds Parbati. Care and treatment is provided at no cost to the families and government support is limited to ARV (antiretroviral) treatments. The treatments for additional illnesses acquired due to the heightened susceptibility associated with HIV/AIDS are not subsidized by the government and are extremely expensive. Furthermore, the cost of living, food and care depends completely on volunteers and donations.
