Wanted: Effective Support for ‘AIDS Orphans’ in Africa |
|
Monday, 29 November 2010 |
|
Children and youth in Southern Africa are particularly affected by AIDS.
According to UN estimates, 14 million children have lost their parents
to AIDS in recent years. There are numerous programmes that aim to
improve the living conditions of ‘AIDS orphans’; but only rarely has
their effectiveness been studied scientifically. A three-year study by
the Swiss Academy for Develoment (SAD) has revealed that support
programmes must also target children with chronically ill caregivers.
They struggle with social problemsthat are comparable to those of “AIDS
orphans”. Further, it was found that AIDS myths are still widespread
despite big prevention campaigns.
