Sujai and Lavanya Suneetha

Serving With:

Nireekshana in Telangana, India

Background:  

After years of ministry among those with leprosy in India, Drs Sujai & Lavanya Suneetha responded to God’s call to minister to those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS (India’s lowest “caste”). Under the Suneethas’ dedicated and capable leadership, Nireekshana started in June of 2004 in a small way as an out-patient based clinic in the living room of their home in Hyderabad. [Seed money provided from CPC’s Ministry Expansion Fund was used to help launch the ministry.] Nireekshana quickly outgrew their home.  Now, through a main clinic in Hyderabad and a satellite clinic in Vishakapatnam in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Nireekshana caters to the needs of hundreds of individuals and families affected by HIV and leprosy each month.

Ministry:

Nireekshana ACET (AIDS Care, Education & Treatment) is a community based organization dedicated to the Christ-like compassionate care and support of people living with HIV/AIDS and leprosy using a holistic approach. Nireekshana’s work is based in the medical clinics and in community outreach. It’s key work focus is on providing counselling, medical care, training and empowerment of women, socio-economic, spiritual care and support. 

Prayer Requests:

  • That Nireekshana would truly be, as the name literally means, “A place of hope”.
  • That the Suneethas would be strengthened in their particular leadership roles.
  • That God might supply the resources (financial, dedicated personnel, facilities) to continue this ministry.
