Children orphaned by AIDS
A calamitous effect of the
AIDS pandemic is the vast number of children orphaned by disease. Some 13.2
million children have lost their mother or both parents to AIDS. 95% of these
children are living in Africa. As the projects described in this report make
clear, stronger commitments and sustainable efforts are urgently needed by the
families, communities and children on the front line of the this epic struggle.
Human, financial and organizational resources are needed on a massive scale if
affected countries are to prevent these crises from completely overwhelming
health, education and other basic services and from breaking down million more families.
