Today is World AIDS Day. It's a day to be reminded of the catastrophic effects of the HIV virus around the world and how much still needs to be done. There are approximately 33.2 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. And approximately 95% of those people living with the virus are living in developing countries, like Malawi. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35 (source: Avert.org). That's why The Amai Athanzi Project is firmly committed to ensuring that there is increased awareness and education in HIV/AIDS in Chisala. We hope that the maternity clinic and its programmes will provide an excellent platform for this essential education.
