Welcome Positive Support Fund

PSF(Positive Support Fund) is a non profit making organization registered under Bombay Public Trust act on 11th May 2006.In 2004, In the national GIPA strategic document, under the section ‘Emphasis on Treatment and Care’ it is clearly mentioned that positive support fund is needed and will be established with support from NACO and other key stakeholders to leverage the rollout of ARV treatment funded by donors – public, private and voluntary organizations and to provide social security and livelihood support for PLHIV. Even though in NACP-III NACO mentions about the importance of innovations for providing livelihood support for PLHIV, it has also explicitly mentioned that it would not directly fund livelihood support and it has to be obtained from other income and employment generation and social welfare schemes. Thus, in the Year 2006, the board members of INP+ came together and approved the creation of positives upport fund aimed at providing emergency financial assistance to PLHIV for their empowerment and sustainable development. It is also evident from the minutes of the 2006 AGM of INP+ wherein the general body members of INP+ unanimously supported the establishment of PSF.
