Stephen feeds water to a woman taking her last breaths. She was found abandoned by the police, who brought her to Stephen. This home had 100 destitute women, 38 of whom were positive. Destitute women that come to him have often been raped multiple times and end up becoming HIV positive. Slowly his home for Destitute women is turning into a home for positive women.15 years ago he began providing a home for orphans like himself. Now he finds himself primarily caring for those with AIDS who have nowhere else to go. Stephen Vidyakars Destitute Homes, Chennai, India. photo: Dayanita Singh / Network
