More than 15
million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS. By 2010,
researchers predict that the parents of 25 million children will
have died. In addition to the poverty, emotional devastation, and
other hardships brought by losing one’s parents, orphanhood confers risk for unsafe sexual
behaviors.
The
Population Council develops and evaluates innovative strategies to
support children affected or orphaned by HIV and AIDS.
