About Us

The South 24 PG Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (SNP+) is a community-based organization by, for and of the people living with HIV and AIDS. It is a platform of the PLHIV (people living with HIV and AIDS) from where they can fight for their rights and against all discrimination. We have been serving the community for the past 17 years and our logo helps to symbolize that we are persistently working to ignite the flame of awareness, rights, equality and fraternity in the human hearts. The network was formed on 21st November of year 2004 and was registered in 2005 under the Societies Registration Act. It was formed with Seven PLHIVs of South 24 Parganas. Five Sub-Divisional Level Networks were also formed on 2010.We tied up with WBSAP&CS AND NACO,CINI, NCPI+, SAATHII, AAWAZ for nutritional support since 2006, Rotary International for Non-formal Education in the year 2015-2016, WBWDU Vocational Training for underprivileged women year 2017-18, CINI (2017 to 2019) for the treatment, prevention and protection of Tuberculosis patients. The organization also works in collaboration with other organizations working on cross-cutting issues like – disability, trafficked victims, and also with the various high risk groups.
It was formed to create a stigma & discrimination free society and for betterment of the quality of life for PLHIV and other marginalized & vulnerable population of society. Later we realized that women & children are very much marginalized in our society. So our future plan includes empowerment women & overall development of children. Our AIM is to improve the socio-economic condition of PLHIV and other marginalized & vulnerable population in society. To strives for empowerment, emancipation & implementation of economic, social, political & legal rights of people living with HIV/AIDS, TB and other marginalized & vulnerable population in society. Our ultimate goal is to create a stigma & discrimination free society for all PLHIVs by the year 2025.So that all PLHIVs can leave a normal & healthy life free of any discrimination.

Our Appeal

Goshala, a Sanskrit word (“Go” means cow and “Shala” means a shelter place. Go+Shala = Shelter for cows), means the abode or sanctuary for cows, calves. A Part from providing sanctuary, the Goushala also rescues the animals destined for illegal slaughter.

The proposed Goushala is a dream project for PLHIV of South 24 Parganas, West Bengal. The project shall be initiated in Canning area, where we shall start building one cow shelter, and will protect cows from getting slaughtered. Along with that, cows with disabilities & diseases will also be brought back in our goushala for treatment.
Another major achievement of the proposed project shall be livelihood program. The people living with HIV/AIDS are one of the marginalized parts of the society. Different research showed that after the people came to know about the positive status of HIV, most of them suffer from extreme mental depression and sometimes got involved into suicidal attempts. This situation gets triggered when it comes to the knowledge of their neighborhood. This is the most critical phase they have to face as most of the time they got abandoned from their society as well as from other family members. Next comes the economic crisis phase. Research reveals the fact that after knowing the HIV positive status, most of them lose their jobs or suffers from extreme criticism which made them to quit their source of income. In this situation minimal livelihood expenses are become critical to layout, specifically to provide food to their children. Our Goushala can provide income generating opportunities for approximately PLHIV 50 families at the beginning.
