Family from Gaza
Courtesy of the ONE blog this morning, I found this story on NPR about the fight to keep babies in Mozambique HIV-free.
The statistics in the sidebar are pretty scary – 25% of adults in Gaza province (where my team will be building) are HIV positive Without proper treatment, that’s a lot of kids that will be left without parents.
I’m joining a Habitat for Humanity team in September that will be helping to build houses for kids that have already lost their parents to AIDS. Considered a vulnerable population, these child-headed households receive a safe house with a cement floor, mosquito nets and a supply of Certeza water treatment liquid to purify drinking water.
If you’d like to help my team and these kids, you can learn more about our trip and donate at Habitat’s secure donation site.
