AGAPE is a registered NGO orphanage and school in Hyderabad, India, and home to more than 200 children. Every child here has been infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. Some are living with HIV themselves, while many have lost one or both parents to the disease. Nearly 80% of our children are full orphans with no parental support.
AGAPE is not just an institution—it is a family. Children often arrive from deeply broken backgrounds, carrying the trauma of losing parents and the scars of poverty. That is why our mission goes beyond providing shelter, healthcare, and nutrition. We also focus on education, emotional healing, and restoring hope so that every child can grow with dignity.
Over the years, we have witnessed remarkable transformations. Many children who came malnourished and without any formal education are now finishing high school, pursuing college, and even graduate studies. With love, learning, and consistent care, they are proving that HIV is not the end of life’s story—it can be the beginning of a hopeful new chapter.
Every year, countless children in India are born HIV-positive or lose parents to AIDS. Without treatment and support, many do not survive past their early years. Even when relatives remain, stigma, fear, and financial hardship often leave these children without a safe home or proper care.
For more than 21 years, AGAPE has been a trusted NGO orphanage and school based in Hyderabad, serving children from across India who are infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Hospitals, community groups, and child welfare agencies turn to us, knowing we will welcome every child with open arms. Beyond shelter, we provide healthcare, nutrition, and access to life-saving treatment so that children do not become another tragic statistic.
Nearly half of the children in our care are HIV-positive, but to us they are simply children—each one deserving of love, dignity, and opportunity. Through education and life-skills training, AGAPE empowers them to rise above stigma and build independent, self-sufficient futures. Here, every child is more than their diagnosis—they are family.
