Orphanages
Uganda
It is estimated that 2,031,000 people are living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda (Uganda AIDS commission, 2004) and about 1,671,000 people have already died from HIV/AIDS leaving over 2,672,400 children orphaned without anyone to look after them.
The situation is exacerbated by stigma and discrimination causing the children to be ostracized by their communities. Relatives see that the parents have died of AIDS and do not attach any value on the children because they think they are HIV positive as well.

All orphans are exposed to difficulties, however certain age groups are more susceptible to circumstances especially from ages 2-12 years old.
Outreach to Africa partners with existing orphanges/schools to provide basic care for orphans. |
