PREFACE
A WORD FROM THE MANAGING TRUSTEE
With gratitude to God, Kripa Foundation presents our Donors and Benefactors the Annual Report of the financial year 2016-2017. Our work of reaching out to the marginalized owing Addiction and AIDS is truly beyond any measurability. The report can only capture a glimpse of the marvels the Lord is doing for Kripa. A significant factor is the growth and increasing demand for starting Kripa centres in the various Diocese/Archdiocese in India. The harvest is great but the laborers are few. We are overwhelmed by the timely support of our well wishers, donors and benefactors both in India and abroad. A special word thanks to our Global Friends of Kripa and my students of Kripa Iyengar Yoga. We wish to thank our Patrons, the various Archbishops and Bishops for the support and encouragement to the work of Kripa Our vision of being a Global healing presence is affirmed year after year and is a motivating force for the Kripa staff and Family. You are a significant part of the Kripa Family and hence I count on your prayers and support to make the healing Presence of the Lord available to more and more people afflicted and affected by Addiction and HIV AIDS. Thanking you. Yours in the service of the Marginalized Fr. Joseph H. Pereira Managing Trustee

The Story of Kripa In 1981, in the simple environs of a church compound in Bandra, Kripa (a Sanskrit word meaning “grace”) was born, with a priest, a doctor, a recovering alcoholic and three patients in attendance. In just over three decades, Kripa has grown into the largest non-governmental organization in India helping people suffering from chemical dependency and HIV infection. Kripa Foundation is the largest Non–Governmental Secular and Indian Organization, under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment Govt. of India, helping people afflicted and affected from Chemical Dependency and HIV Infection. Kripa Foundation offers a non-discriminating, supportive Community Living, helping people to introspect and bring about change in lifestyle. Kripa Foundation highlights the need to study risk perception, effectively assist in harm minimization and trains the affected individuals to monitor life as an ongoing process of Spiritual Growth. The Organization began in Bandra in 1981. Since then this Public Charitable Trust has grown to 75 facilities in 12 States in India, namely Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, West Bengal, Assam, Gujarat, Delhi, U.P. and Rajasthan, of which the Treatment cum Rehabilitation Centres in Mumbai, Goa, Imphal, Kohima and Shillong are aided through Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (MSJE), Government of India grants. National and International Donors aid the remaining centres. The thrust is on helping people to introspect and bring about change in lifestyle. This philosophy has awarded Kripa with tremendous experience in behavioral modeling and interventions in vulnerable populations. Kripa’s work in the field of HIV/AIDS started off in 1990 when it first reached out to drug addicts incarcerated in the Central Jail at Manipur. These addicts were forcibly thrown into prison by their parents and were leading a sub-human existence. In Nagaland too the Kripa Counseling Centre has an ongoing prison outreach programme carrying the message of hope and recovery. The link between substance abuse and HIV/AIDS has led us to conduct on September 11, 1995 a benchmark survey in Manipur, the first of its kind under the aegis of the Government of India/ U.N.D.C.P. Kripa later commissioned a 24/7 HIV / AIDS Helpline on December 5, 1995. This is successfully providing service till date. As demonstrated Kripa has been reaching out to the community of substance abusers, those with dual problems of substance/chemical use/abuse/dependency and HIV and their families. Our Plan of Recovery Vision – A Global Healing Presence. Mission – Non-discriminating, supportive community living, helping people to introspect and bring about change in lifestyle, to alter the risk perception, to minimize harm and to see the need to monitor life as an ongoing process of spiritual growth. Goal: Empowering those afflicted and affected by chemical dependency and HIV/AIDS. Objectives: ♦ To provide care, treatment and support. ♦ To interface with community through prevention intervention modules. ♦ To develop and implement training modules. ♦ To generate human resources. ♦ To include research in all aspects of service ♦ To maintain international standards.

Apart from this, the CCC also provides lo-cal outpatient support, community awareness, support activities, linkages and networking to-wards implementation of the NACP – III objectives. i.e. to regard the progress of the HIV epi-demic in Vadodara district.
