Default AIDS Orphans

Did you know that in the next 3 years it is projected that 10% of the population of Mozambique will be AIDS orphans? This is a disease that is affecting so many millions of innocent children around the world. What can we do to make a difference for AIDS orphans?

The situation in Zambia is just as dire. There are approximately 700 000 AIDS orphans in that country alone. Sub saharan africa is being ravaged by the virus. Western Countries really do need to step up to the plate and do something

Yes, it's a pandemic now. And throughout Africa, orphans are becoming more plentiful. This strains the families who survive to take care of them. With all the pharmaceutical wealth in the west, you would think that more drugs and treatments would be available to send there to stop the spread.
