The Rose Fund was established to enable Positive Women Victoria to raise funds to assist and support our members and their families.  Many of our members live below the poverty line and are often the sole supporters of children. Like most agencies these days we are acutely aware of the hardships faced by families who live day to day with chronic illness and we do our best to help out where we can.

The Rose Fund assists members by providing grants to improve health and wellbeing, for training and education or personal development. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, our members have been assisted with grants for:

 A professional writing course

Dance classes

Gym membership

Business Administration Course

Lap Top Computer to assist with studies

Foreign language classes

This year we also distributed $5000 in food vouchers and ran a retreat for our members where they can take some time out and spend time with other HIV positive women learning strategies for living well with HIV and AIDS.

Positive Women Victoria aims to decrease the number of HIV diagnoses, we hope that the need for a service such as ours will dwindle over time however unfortunately; this is not the case yet.  In 2007, HIV diagnoses for women in Victoria increased by 25% and our organisation has experienced an escalation in the number of HIV positive women seeking our support.
