World Vision works tirelessly to raise awareness about the global AIDS crisis, with a special focus on the children and mothers who are impacted. Currently, we are highlighting our efforts to stop the spread of HIV from mothers to children in Zambia, a country where one in seven people are infected — and nearly two-thirds of HIV-positive adults are women.
Your gift will help infected moms gain access to care that can prolong their lives — and protect their children from HIV. Specifically, you'll help provide:
- HIV testing and medical care
- Prenatal and postnatal care
- Counseling for HIV-positive mothers
- Support for local clinics specializing in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV
- Promotion of good nutrition
- HIV-awareness programs
Nearly 40 percent of babies born to HIV-infected mothers in Zambia are at risk of being infected by the virus. With your help, we can provide essential care to mothers and babies to stop the spread of HIV to the next generation. Please give generously today to help prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Zambia.
At World Vision, stewardship is an integral part of everything we do. In rare cases where donations exceed what is needed, or where local conditions prevent program implementation, World Vision will redirect funds to similar activities to help children and families in need.
The multiplying effect from grants and donated goods may change throughout the year on identical or similar offers due to variations in the start and end dates of donor grants and our programs.
