projects orange farm hiv project two out of every three people living with hiv/aids are found in sub-saharan africa, easily making this region the most affected and most heavily burdened corner of the world. An estimated 22 million adults and children were living with hiv/aids in sub-saharan africa at the end of 2008. Approximately 1. 5 million africans died from aids that year, leaving a total of 11 million children living as aids orphans. The extent of the epidemic is stunning in orange farm, a suburb in johannesburg, south africa where increasing numbers of people with hiv are now becoming ill. Despite expanded prevention, treatment and care efforts, the infection rates and death tolls have continued to rise. Aids is erasing decades of progress made in extending life expectancy in africa. Millions of adults are dying young or in early middle age. The toll of hiv/aids on households can be very severe. Many families are losing their income earners leaving the family in severe poverty. Many are dying leaving surviving partners infected and in need of care. Often the presence of aids means that the household eventually dissolves, as the parents die and children are orphaned. Many of those orphans are infected as well. But the impact of hiv goes beyond sickness and death, affecting every part of african society. That is why amna is proud to serve as a partner with faith based, indigenous organizations, by providing a unique community outreach capability for the important fight against hiv and aids. Thousands of people have received education, counseling, testing and treatment through our various powerful partnership centers and meaningful outreach to communities. Community outreach and education are crucial in controlling this epidemic. Beyond our supported partnerships, grassroots hiv/aids education is a standard part of amna's crusades and mission trips, and is presented on an ongoing basis. The educational information focuses on improving knowledge and attitudes to sexual health, reducing sexual risk taking behaviors, while promoting abstinence and monogamy. Medical care is still needed for those families already infected. Through medical mission trips and ongoing donations of medicines, survival rates for those who are infected has increased dramatically.
