HIV/AIDS: search for a response

This document reports an effort to systematically investigate the extent to which Compassion International assisted children are affected by HIV/AIDS. An initial analysis from Compassion's child database indicated that the largest impact within Compassion's population of children is found in Africa. In Kenya and Uganda, interviews with Compassion staff and local partners were conducted. In addition, case studies of orphans and other children affected by HIV/AIDS were completed. Several programmatic responses representing best practices are included to help understand the variety and limitations of effective program responses.
