Coming from Africa I have personally seen the devastating effects that Malaria and HIV/AIDS have left in families and the community, the segregation and discrimination of those living with HIV/AIDS. Life is hard enough when living with AIDS but can become unbearable if you have to face it alone.
Malaria and HIV/AIDS seem to be an “African problem” but these require global effort if the 6th millennium development goal is to be met by 2015.
The statistics coming from Africa are horrifying! Malaria kills an African every 30 seconds! Of the 39 million people living with HIV worldwide, 25 million are from sub-Saharan Africa. This is the grim reality that millions of Africans have to live with every day.
What can be done about this?
What have you done about it?
The problem is not that people do not care it is that they do not really know about such facts. It is important to provide a platform for those who play a front role in the combat against HIV/AIDS. Raising awareness about suchissues is essential to achieving the millennium development goals!
