HIV TREATMENT, FOOD, ORPHAN CARE, A FUTURE
HIV Treatment Access to treatment can help people living
with HIV live healthy and productive lives. Significant progress has been made,
yet 46% of the 15 million people who need treatment do not have it. We works to
increase access to compassionate HIV care and treatment.
Food One of
the most essential, yet often overlooked components of successful HIV treatment
is access to nutritious food. It is important that people living with HIV
maintain their body weight and have a healthy diet, particularly when they are
enrolled in HIV treatment.
Orphan Care
16.6 million children have lost their parents
to AIDS. Keep a Child Alive supports community based organizations and orphan
care programs that provide services to some of the most vulnerable children.
A Future
We believes that every person has the
right to healthcare and that all children deserve a future. We are committed to
ensuring that the people we serve continue to live with dignity and lead
healthy lives.
