Fighting HIV/AIDS in Partnership with Communities

Save the Children envisions a world where children and families can live free of HIV infection and in which families that are affected by HIV/AIDS can live positively and productively without stigma and discrimination.

Drawing on our global experience, Save the Children continually supports hundreds of thousands of children affected by HIV. Save the Children takes on a comprehensive approach in addressing HIV/AIDS for children, spanning from prevention to care and mitigation with a focus on orphans and vulnerable children; youth at risk; and Pediatric AIDS.

Working with families, community groups, local governments and nongovernmental organizations, Save the Children strengthens local capacities to protect vulnerable children, prevent the spread of HIV, and care for community members infected with HIV/AIDS. In order to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable response to the epidemic as well as mitigate stigma and discrimination, Save the Children integrates HIV throughout various sector programs in education, health, food security, and economic opportunities.
