- How we help AIDS Orphans practically
As an example, there is a new initiative by the SOS Social and Medical Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. This year, the "Haven of Love" was founded there, which is a protected space for those afflicted by HIV/Aids and HIV positive children aged three to fourteen.
Studies show that life expectancy in HIV positive children increases with proper psychological care. This also includes informing them carefully on their illness (many parents do not out of fear that their children will suffer exclusion).
The "Haven of Love" offers games therapy, outdoor activities, nutrition programmes, family days, information seminars for children and much more. Besides HIV positive children, children whose parents or brothers and sisters have contracted Aids are the second target group.
