AIDS

AIDS is a primary cause of being an orphanage in our times.
AIDS impact is greater in third world countries than developed countries. Millions of children lost their parents in Africa because of AIDS. Prevention and treatment of the HIV virus had been coordinated by states and international organizations. However, the effort to contain the disease is very expensive and unaffordable to most nations. The availability of medicine to combat the disease is dependent largely on the availability of donations and charities.
These orphans like most children who lost their parents are lost from the very beginning. Some children may die with the same disease that killed their parents; some may die from starvation or crime before they reach their teenage years. The rest who are fortunate to grow up knew only loneliness, loss, fear, violence and mistrust. They most likely develop emotional and psychological problems. They bond together to help each other as part of their solution. Even though AIDS orphans show the same type of sadness and loss as any orphan, they develop less violent characteristics due to the support they receive from society and humanitarian organizations. They are wiling and accepting whenever any kind of help is available or offered to them.
