SAHAYA WALKS (previously called Hope Walks) is a family-oriented annual event to celebrate that we can make a difference in the lives of HIV-infected children and orphans in the programs of Sahaya in developing countries. This is the 5th time we are organizing this event. Thanks to our efforts, we have not lost a single child because of HIV/AIDS in nearly 5 years!

100% of the proceeds of this event will directly support 22 HIV-affected orphans in in India by providing them with proper nutrition, clothing, education and access to life-saving medications.

"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
(Mother Teresa)
