The Orphan Crisis In Africa The adage that orphans did not exist in Africa has been broken due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The contemporary African tradition provided that children who had lost their parents are immediately taken in by members of their extended families, most often an uncle or an aunt. Today, however, the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS on the adult population of Africa has resulted in large numbers of orphans and far fewer aunts and uncles to take them into care. While many orphans in Africa are still taken in by their kin and other members of their community,an increasing number are slipping through this traditional safety net. For many of the children orphaned or affected by HIV/AIDS, the impact is severe.
Ripples International is making a difference! They are helping to create a brighter future for hundreds of children and families living with the effects of HIV/AIDs. You can help today!
