The Lutheran World Relief Community Quilt



HIV/AIDS

HIV/AIDSMore than 38 million people live with HIV/AIDS. As the disease attacks their bodies, they require constant care and lose their jobs. The loss of income and added medical expenses force many families to withdraw their children from school to put them to work. When their parents die, millions more children are orphaned and left without food, shelter, education, or relatives to protect them.
