End this Year by Making a Difference with Children Impacted by HIV

|

All over Africa and in the U.S., people like you are helping turn lives of despair into futures full of hope. When you look into the eyes of a little one who has lost everything due to HIV, like we have, you are especially thankful for the support of others who want to bring hope too. From our team at the Children’s Aids Fund International to you and your family, we want to wish you the very best for a hope filled 2014.

CAFI is working to see that treatment for the Little Ones is delivered when it can still make a difference.

When it comes to HIV, it’s the children who are left behind. Children under age 15 living with HIV in low and middle-income countries who need ART to survive are much less likely than adults to get life saving treatment. According to the World Health Organization, in 2012 two million children already eligible for ART are still not receiving it. That doesn’t include infants and children who have not been tested for HIV!

Treating infants and children is more complex than treating adults, but it can and must be done. Help CAFI work to reduce the obstacles to ensure treatment for these little ones who have no voice of their own.

700 Children are Born with HIV Every Day.

When it comes to health for HIV-impacted children, Nutrition is key because a child’s health is linked to the food they eat. Without a nutritious diet children do not develop and grow the way they should. Children with HIV especially need good food to help them take the medications that are saving their lives.You can use the CAFI store to nurture the little ones with nutrition by providing seedlings for a family garden for $50, a pair of goats for $75, a rooster and two hens for $150, or a pair of pigs for $175. This approach to nutrition helps little ones sustain the right level of nutrition, necessary to fight the additional diseases that can afflict them when they have HIV.

2 Million Children with HIV Aren’t Getting Treatment.

Despite the progress that we’ve made to reduce mother to child transmission and treatment of HIV, one group has been left behind. Children. Without HIV testing and treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART), one third of infants living with HIV die before their first birthday, and more than half die before the age of two.
