Description

Carol Bellamy (ed). The HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has already orphaned a generation of children -- & now seems set to orphan generations more. Over 11 million children under the age of 15 living in SSA have been robbed of one or both parents by HIV/AIDS. By 2010, 20% of the children in a dozen countries will be orphans. This report details the life circumstances of today’s orphans with new data & fresh analyses. Offers the possibility of change if certain things are done now. Presents a strategy for ensuring that all of Africa’s orphaned children have a safe, healthy & well-educated childhood, establishing the foundation for a productive adult life & for their countries development. It encourages hope in the face of an epic disaster. Illustrations.
