Problem
HIV/Aids panademic, in 2007 was estimated that 33.2 million people lived with the disease worldwide, and that AIDS killed estimated 2.1 million people including 33,000 children. Over three quarters of these deaths occurred in sub-saharan Africa, retarding economic growth and destroying human capital. More and more children lose their parents or guardians because of HIV/Aids this can rob a child of the emotional, physical support the defines and sustains childhood. But in numerous HIV/AIDS affected households children have not simply increased the amount of work that they do but have also assumed decision-making and responsibilities that transform roles within families and households. Children assume adult roles as heads of household because there are no alternatives. They care for parents and younger siblings who are sick and dying from HIV/AIDS. They take charge of the care and running of the home for themselves and their siblings. They work long hours doing household tasks, supervising younger children and engaging in income-generating work in order to support the family. Many quit school and jeopardise their own health and developmental needs to take on roles as parent, nurse and provider.
Many quit school and jeopardize their own health and development, this effect our future generation!!
