Para 1.20 | Ayries Trust made grants of £26355 in total for this financial year, of which £12850 consisted of restricted funds, awarded by Christadelphian Meal a Day Asia Pacific for the specific purpose of providing nutritional support for the TB and PLHA peoples. Continued… |
Context for work of Ayries Society: In this rural area HIV/AIDS and TB are common diseases. Often HIV sufferers have TB as an opportunistic disease and co-infected people have a high risk of death. In Tamil Nadu the mortality rate of HIV infected people is higher than it has ever been (although the number of new HIV infections among young people is falling). 60% of deaths of HIV/AIDS patients are from opportunistic infections, most of which are TB (ref: Tamil Nadu State AIDS Control Society (TANSACS)). Poor nutrition and malnourishment amongst HIV sufferers due to poverty is directly leading to deaths in the area where low CD4 cell counts and poor nutritional status together are high risk factors for mortality. (Estimates put the income of PLHA families to be 25% of average of non-PLHA families). State provision for children with special educational needs remains poor and difficult to access. This leads to social isolation, lack of status and minimal prospects of employment.

| Para 1.41 | Grants were made to Ayries Society India with the three main objectives in mind. A sustained increase in TB patients at any one time from 35 to about 40. (Currently there are 15 to 20 new cases |
per month) Target met, including administration of DOTS as recommended by WHO and nutritional support, crucial to success of DOTS and hence reducing chance of drug resistance. An increase in the number of PLHA families receiving nutrition, advocacy and assistance in accessing ART treatment from 53 to 70. Slight reduction in numbers here due to some families moving out of area, and sadly, deaths associated with Covid. Monthly meetings with healthcare professionals held plus provision of nutritional support. Jessica Centre students re-integrated back to school after Covid- 40 students, physiotherapy, social integration and education provided as well as a healthy lunch. They are collected daily by the society’s minibus. Grants made from unrestricted funds are largely for staff salaries, fuel, building maintenance, physiotherapy equipment and nutrition for Jessica Centre school children, plus a small number of children orphaned by Covid or AIDS. Relationships with Tamil Nadu state actors remain good, with Ayries staff having access to several Public Health Centres to carry out TB testing. Communication with Ayries India occurs almost daily. Voluntary donations only and the CMaD grant, for which a bid is made. Performance of fundraising
