UNICEF: Outreach to Zimbabwe children orphaned by HIV/AIDS

GOROMONZI DISTRICT, Zimbabwe, 20 July 2007 -- Lillian's father died in 2004 due to complications from AIDS. Her mother, unable to cope, abandoned the family a few days later. After their mother left, Lillian and her siblings joined their six cousins, whose mothers had already died from AIDS-related illnesses. Their 80-year-old grandmother was suddenly left responsible for the care of nine orphaned children. Unfortunately, Lillian's life mirrors that of many Zimbabwean girls her age -- children being looked after by ailing grandparents. There are at least 1.1 million children (and possibly as many as 1.6 million) who have lost one or both parents to AIDS in the country. As part of The Government of Zimbabwe's National Plan of Action (NPA) for orphans and vulnerable children, UNICEF is embarking on a massive programme to improve the health, education, protection and nutrition of the country's orphans and vulnerable children.

UNICEF and partners are today announcing a dramatic reduction in worldwide measles mortality rates since 2000, especially in Africa. Here is just one of the success stories on immunization. MUPANDAWANA, Zimbabwe, 29 November 2007 -- One can still see the legacy of polio in the limping walks of a handful of villagers in Mupandawana, a small community with a population of 300. As word spread that a national drive to prevent the resurgence of polio would begin this week, parents were unwavering in their support of the campaign -- their memories still tainted with the reminder of bygone days when polio ruined childhoods. It is this kind of community support that has made the implementation of Zimbabwe's Child Health Days successful. Now in their third consecutive year, Child Health Days have played a significant role in raising immunization rates, reducing measles and boosting child survival in Zimbabwe.

NEW YORK, USA, 30 November 2007 -- The impact of HIV and AIDS on children and young people continues to be of critical significance as campaigners mark World AIDS Day, 1 December, this year. "Children and young people are still in a very difficult situation," said UNICEF's Senior Policy Advisor on HIV and AIDS, Tom Franklin, noting that "2.1 million children under 15 are living with HIV. In 2006, there were 380,000 deaths among children under 15. The number of orphans has gone up to 15 million, and of those 12 million are in Africa. "We have to make sure that all vulnerable children get into school, that all vulnerable children have access to health care. And we have to help the elderly caregivers, the families and the communities, that are helping these children," he added. For complete World AIDS Day coverage, visit: www.uniteforchildren.org

DHAKA, Bangladesh, 23 November 2007 -- A week after Cyclone Sidr pummelled Bangladesh, the survivors are struggling to pick up the pieces. A roof overhead, food, water and sanitation are the most critical needs. The Government of Bangladesh, with support from UN agencies and non-governmental organizations, is accelerating relief efforts, which have reached all but a few remote areas. "Even in the face of repeated natural disasters, the people of Bangladesh once again demonstrated their resilience," UNICEF Representative Louis-Georges Arsenault observed after his recent visit to the worst-affected districts as part of a Joint UN Mission. "People are making utmost efforts to recover." To read the full story, visit: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/bangladesh_41912.html

NEW DELHI, India, 3 December 2007 -- The Railway Age dawned in India in 1853, with the first train to run from Bombay to Thana, a distance of 21 miles. Over 150 years later, the extensive Indian railway network covering almost 70,000 miles is transporting more than passengers and cargo across the continent. Now it is also a vital conduit for raising AIDS awareness. On World AIDS Day 2007, Sonia Ghandi, one of India's leading politicians, joined high-ranking government officials and representatives of partner organizations -- including UNICEF -- at New Delhi's Safdarjang Railway Station. They were there to launch the 'Red Ribbon Express', a groundbreaking drive against AIDS. The largest mass mobilization effort on AIDS undertaken anywhere in the world, The Red Ribbon Express is a landmark effort. In its year-long journey, the train will halt at 180 stations and reach more than 50,000 villages with critical information on HIV prevention.

NEW YORK, USA, 20 November 2007 -- To mark the 18th anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC), a group of teenage videographers has given an online screening of their short videos made in the virtual world of Teen Second Life. The children -- from Finland, the United Kingdom and the United States -- each made a one-minute video about child rights during a summer camp led by the New York-based non-profit Global Kids, with support from UNICEF. The five-week-long project, which all took place in Teen Second Life, began with two weeks of workshops on the CRC using information provided by UNICEF.

NEW YORK, USA, 20 November 2007 -- UNICEF's first Advocate for Children Affected by War, Ishmael Beah, has pledged to give a voice and hope to children whose lives have been scarred by violence. "I know the nature of what it is to be forgotten, what it is to lose your humanity, and more importantly, what it is to recover from it and to have another life," he added. Mr. Beah was forcibly recruited as a child soldier in Sierra Leone when he was 13. UNICEF helped him to escape the conflict and become rehabilitated. He then moved to the United States to complete his education, began advocating for children's rights and went on to author the best-selling book, 'A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier'.
