How does SOS Childrens Villages tackle the HIV/AIDS issue?
Our programmes for people affected by HIV/AIDS concentrate on the education of children and youngsters in preventing the spread of the disease and on giving support and help to child- or grandparent-headed families, where the parents have been killed by the disease. It is imperative to inform our children, youngsters and employees about how to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. When children living in an SOS Children’s Village develop AIDS, we aim to look after them in the village for as long as possible, provided that the necessary medical means are available.
