Another issue that Christian Aid deals with is HIV. HIV is a deadly epidemic known worldwide. 11,000 people are infected every day, and 7,500 die each day as a result. What we don’t calculate into those statistics is that those that die are fathers and mothers that leave millions of children with no parents to raise them.
How does Christian Aid help? Christian Aid has 250 partner organizations that they connect with in over 40 countries. Their priorities in dealing with HIV are:
• HIV work in fragile states, and in conflict and post-conflict areas
• HIV and nutrition/food security
• HIV work with and for young people
• Support for orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV
• Community-based HIV care and prevention
They also implement the SAVE approach which incorporates the ABC approach (Abstinence, Be Faithful, and Condom use) as well as educating men and women in different countries about the disease.
