JUSTIFICATION TO ESTABLISH THE PROJECT

Among the most devastating effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa is that it is orphaning generations of children-jeorpadising their rights and well being, as well as compromising the overall development prospects of their countries. In 1990, fewer than 1 million sub-Saharan African children under the age of 15 had lost one or both parents  to HIV/AIDS. At the end of 2001, 11 million in this age group were orphans because of HIV/AIDS, nearly 80% of the world total. By 2010, 20 million in this age group are likely to be orphans from this single cause, comprising about half the  total number of orphans expected in the region. Households with orphans are more likely to become poorer. UNICEF regards enrolling children in school and keeping them their as the most essential ingredient in helping orphans cope with their loss.
