Africa's Orphaned Generations

The HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has already orphaned a generation of children -- & now seems set to orphan generations more. Over 11 million children under the age of 15 living in SSA have been robbed of one or both parents by HIV/AIDS. By 2010, 20% of the children in a dozen countries will be orphans. This report details the life circumstances of today's orphans with new data & fresh analyses. Offers the possibility of change if certain things are done now. Presents a strategy for ensuring that all of Africa's orphaned children have a safe, healthy & well-educated childhood, establishing the foundation for a productive adult life & for their countries development. It encourages hope in the face of an epic disaster. Illustrations.Bellamy, Carol is the author of 'Africa's Orphaned Generations ', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756740207 and ISBN 0756740207.
