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.

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.
