Sadly, HIV/AIDS in most parts of the developing world is still a quick death sentence. Lack of funds too often means no drugs, no education, no diagnosis or medical support. Donate now.
Over 1,000 babies are infected with HIV every day, during pregnancy, at birth or through breastfeeding. Yet HIV transmission from mothers to babies has never been easier to prevent. The drug that halves the chances of babies getting HIV from their mothers costs just $1.50.
UNICEF’s Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS campaign is a global plan to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and to give orphans and vulnerable children access to health, education and protection.
Programs are already in place, such as school feeding programs to help keep children in school where education helps prevent new infections. Family and community support help keep parents alive and keep families together.
However, millions of children are still at risk.
While you read this, too many mothers gave their unborn babies HIV, too many infants died of AIDS and too many children became orphans. Please join us in giving mothers and their children a chance to enjoy the life they deserve.
