“Creating a viable future for orphans and
vulnerable children is a daunting task, one in which we all must take an active part. Creative, committed action at community, district, national, regional and international levels has demonstrated that a better future for millions
of affected children can be achieved. While the pain these children experience can never be erased, it can be eased. Our collective compassion and effort can enable their voices to be heard and their fundamental needs met. We must aim to ensure that their rights are protected, respected and fulfilled, so they grow into a strong generation, one able to contribute to repairing the profound social and personal damage caused by HIV/AIDS.”

Vulnerable Children Living in a World with HIV/Aids”
