Welcome to our group
Support for Orphans Living With AIDS (SOLWA) is an informal group of volunteers based in Mumbai, India. We offer our time and money to assist orphans, primarily those who are HIV+.
Today 42 children, all with HIV/AIDS, live at Ish Kripa (God's Mercy) Orphanage, which is part of the larger Helpers of Mary orphanage compound Naya Jeevan, currently housing about 350 children.
SOLWA has adopted this home to try and improve the lives of these children.
