Where Compassion Begins, and Lives are Rebuilt
The first reported case of AIDS in India emerged in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu. Over the years, the epidemic has left a lasting impact—especially on the lives of children. As the disease claimed more lives, the number of orphans affected by AIDS began to rise rapidly. Rejected by families and feared by society, these innocent children were left with no place to turn.
But where society turned away, one woman stepped forward.
The Birth of CHES
In 1994, Dr. Manorama Pinagapany, a dedicated physician at the Institute of Child Health and Hospital for Children, Egmore—one of Asia’s finest pediatric hospitals—offered love and refuge to two HIV-positive orphans, Krishnaveni (5) and Ravi (3). With nowhere else to go, these children found not just shelter, but a mother’s love. That single, powerful act of compassion became the foundation of Community Health Education Society (CHES).
