Other Initiatives

Support Group Saath Saath

Saath Saath, a group for the People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) group, was registered to organize and enable PLHWA to fight the stigma and discrimination faced by them. Monthly support group meetings are arranged wherein PLWHA share their experiences. Nutritious food is provided to the group members to maintain their CD4 count and Aditi also facilitates their access to social welfare and protection schemes and arranges for in-kind donations. 

Aditi Kitchen – A Social Enterprise Initiative of Aditi

After years of tirelessly working in the field of HIV, Aditi is now venturing into the domain of social entrepreneurship. The initiative, supported by FHI 360, aims at skill building and providing alternate sources of livelihood to FSWs, thereby ensuring their dignified transition into the mainstream. Aditi’s journey of social change has often been affected by a paucity of funds and Aditi Kitchen is also an opportunity to reduce our dependency on funding and ensure the sustainability of our CBO. 

A spices unit is being set up at Bhandup wherein CBO members will be engaged in the management of entire operations from manufacturing to the marketing of the spices. Spices are the most vital ingredients of Indian cuisine and there is a huge demand for spices, blended with the cuisine of the local communities.

In the past, our CBO members have successfully run a community kitchen for 5 years and managed the MDACS canteen for a year. Our CBO members have the potential, confidence, and necessary skills to manage this business.

Based on our market survey and research, Aditi Kitchen is currently launching:

• Turmeric Powder
• Red Chilli Powder
• Garam Masala
• Malvani Masala
• Kanda Lasun (Onion-Garlic Masala)

Other spices shall be launched at a later stage. We provide discounts on wholesale purchases.
