In Africa, every day 1000 children are born with HIV, opposed to only one child in Europe and the US respectively. In parts of Africa, up to 75% of babies born to HIV+ mothers stand to lose their mothers to AIDS-related illnesses. Lack of knowledge about HIV/Aids and fear of stigma prevent mothers living with HIV/Aids from searching the right kind of support to prevent transmission and learning to live with HIV/AIDS.
35% more new born in Africa will live an AIDS free life through m2m’s initiative which aims to eliminate pediatric AIDS and keep mothers alive.
