HIV and AIDS

Today more than 33 million people are infected with HIV. In Africa, more people die from AIDS and malaria every single month than those that died in the entirety of the 2004 Asia-Pacific tsunami. (UN AIDS)

Guardians of Hope supports the most vulnerable – orphaned children, widows and widowers who lack family support. Tens of thousands more are impacted through prevention and awareness activities, such as interactive drama presentations, awareness training seminars for pastors, teachers and youth, and the building of clinics for counseling, testing and medical care.
