Worldwide, 13.4 million children have
become orphans due to HIV/AIDS. Millions more are living with
parents who are ill or with families that must stretch scarce
resources to care for them. USAID is funding more than 75
activities in 22 countries to help families and communities
create and sustain a supportive environment for children affected
by HIV/AIDS. USAID activities include material support, such
as food, school fees, shelter, and clothing, in addition to
economic strengthening, counseling, psychological support,
and community care.
