HIV/AIDS is one of the leading and fastest growing causes of child vulnerability in the world. The pandemic affects an increasing number of children every year leaving them with ailing or absent caregivers, on the streets, stigmatized or sick themselves and often without the support they need to overcome these circumstances. Youth represent the group at the greatest risk of contracting HIV/AIDS while also representing a potentially powerful source of change. This section of the site aggregates resources related to improving the economic well being of children affected by HIV/AIDS by working with them, their caregivers and their communities.
