No more desperation, but hope
"World AIDS Day" is observed on the 1st of December every year. Its purpose is to raise global awareness of the disease and to gain more people's attention to those suffering from it.
Since the first case of AIDS was identified in 1981, the HIV epidemic has been causing tremendous suffering at an alarming rate in the past three decades, and many children have lost their parents as a result. In 2010, around 390,000 children were born with HIV; and in 2009, there were already 2.5million children under 15 living with HIV, among all countries. Africa is the continent with the highest rate of HIV prevalence and mortality. World Vision, as a child-focused organisation, pays particular attention to those children living with HIV and the impacts of HIV on them. As early as 1991, World Vision has been working in the most affected countries.
Activities include education in HIV prevention, provision of medical care, psychological counseling, life-skill training and other support services to orphans, vulnerable children and their families. World Vision cares for these people and strives to help them regain hope and feel loved.
