As the number of young women infected with HIV
has grown, so has the number of children born with
the deadly virus. There are currently over 2.3 million
children infected with HIV. Without access to
proper nutrition, health care, and medication, most
children die before their 5th birthday. Due to the
intense needs of these children and the early
deaths of their parents, many HIV-positive children
are orphaned, neglected, or abandoned. However,
with a loving home and proper drugs and care,
children can lead longer, active lives.

Accessible, community health care is also a key
factor in improving longevity and quality of life. AYA
has partnered with The Medical Mission Sisters in
the Korogocho slum in Nairobi, Kenya, Bringing
Hope to the Family in rural Uganda, and Lambano
Sanctuary in Johannesburg, South Africa to provide
much-needed medical care to underserved
populations. In addition to providing care to
HIV-positive children these clinics also strive to
provide prevention and treatment for malaria,
infections, diarrhea, and other treatable conditions
that kill millions of children each year.
