Last chance to save AIDS funding for children
Every ninety seconds a child dies from an AIDS-related illness and each day over 1,000 children are newly infected with HIV. Much more can, and must, be done to prevent more children becoming infected and to provide life saving treatment and care to the 2.5 million children living with HIV around the world.
Millions of children are losing their mums and dads to HIV and AIDS, having to leave school to nurse family members and care for younger brothers and sisters when their parents die. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, an estimated 11.4 million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS - a figure roughly equivalent to the total number of children in England and Wales. These children desperately need help.
