Homes plan for India Aids orphans

The Indian authorities have given approval for the establishment of orphanages for children whose parents have died of Aids.

The National Aids Control Organisation is to set up 10 homes across India to care for and educate the orphans.

A spokesman for the organisation said it was possible to find families willing to take in Aids orphans if they were healthy.

But that was not the case if the orphans were HIV positive.
