Description
Aids-Africa brings together a multisectoral community of Africans and other countries to raise and jointly address health-related issues, particularly HIV/AIDS in Africa. When 2,500,000 people in Africa will die of Aids this year, we are not talking about a “cause” — we are talking about an emergency, a global humanitarian emergency. The facts about Aids blow your mind. They also break your heart. Imagine if a third of the kids at your local primary school were Aids orphans. That's a reality in Africa where the parents of 13 million children have been killed by Aids. Across the continent these children wake up every day with no parents to look after them. And it will get worse. There will be 25 million kids without mums and dads by the end of this decade because of this disease.
Through discussion forums, Aids-Africa fosters independent, informed and constructive debate guided by principles of tolerance and respect. This forum is open to any interested party. Any individual may subscribe.By disseminating community-based knowledge and experiences, Aids Africa helps build collective consensus on HIV/AIDS - from local to international levels, in the countries most affected.
