This vital project, supported by NACO through MSACS, Mumbai, has been making a significant impact since March 2013. MVF's core goal is to halt and reverse the HIV & AIDS epidemic among the migrant population in the Wadi and Hingna MIDC areas of Nagpur district. The program focuses on reducing the vulnerability of migrants to STIs, HIV, and AIDS while preventing the further spread of these diseases by promoting safer sexual practices.
