The Problem & The Solution:
The 1991 census put the number of orphaned children at 1.2 million (in Uganda, children missing one or both parents are considered orphans)."Will you take care of my children?" AIDS, war, disease, poverty, and famine have created a worldwide tragedy.
In Africa, current figures show there are over 34 million orphans. 12 million have been orphaned by AIDS. "The worst is yet to come," warns a report issued by the UN Children's Fund. By 2010, there will be 41,994,000 orphans in Africa, half will be due to AIDS.
These children - a majority between the ages of 10 and 16 - are left without critical guidance, protection and support. The problem is overwhelming, the need is immense, but there is a solution...You can help from a distance.
