Freedom Foundation is a pioneer in the fields of Substance Abuse & HIV/AIDS Interventions in India. In a time when HIV meant shame & silence, Freedom Foundation that began work in the area of de-addiction, opened doors to people infected with HIV.
The Foundation stands tall for setting up the very first HIV ‘Comprehensive Community based Care and Support center’ (CCSC) in India. This center that is located at Bangalore was recognized as a model unit by NACO (National AIDS Control Organisation) and other national & international agencies.
Currently the Foundation is considered as the largest service delivery NGO in Substance Abuse & HIV/AIDS sectors in India. Its plethora of very successful interventions includes a wide spectrum of activities on Substance Abuse and HIV/AIDS that address the needs of children, women, and men, especially from communities that are marginalized and suffering from disease and poverty. The Substance Abuse facilities of the Foundation attract clients from various countries all over the world.
Yet among the many firsts of the Foundation is its entry into EAP (Employee Assistance Programmes) in various public and private sector companies in India. Working extensively with various trade unions and senior managements in the public sector, the Foundation successfully demonstrated EAP programmes in large public sector industries as well as the private sector.
Decades of ART (Anti-retroviral Treatment) rich experience, has led the Foundation to set up an impressive and inspiring ART facility based on a graduated cost recovery model that is equipped to make ART accessible to 4500 clients (treatment and care) at Bangalore and Hyderabad. Many, especially women and children are benefited by free ART from this project.
In line with the latest diagnostic protocols, the Foundation has developed specialized diagnostic facilities at Bangalore and Hyderabad. The umbrella of services covers an entire range of diagnostic needs for communities affected by HIV/AIDS. Various clinical and operational research initiatives also stem out of these units.
The achievements of Freedom Foundation lies in its sound working strategy and an efficient team that has managed to achieve a lot within resource limitations. While a few of the Foundation’s initiatives are supported by grants, many are possible only through our committed donors and volunteers.
