Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

>>More than 42 million people are affected by HIV/AIDS. Over a million children in Uganda have been left orphaned since the beginning of the pandemic

Many families have nursed one or both parents through illness and have witnessed their deaths. Children are left vulnerable and alone, caring for brothers and sisters, taking on whatever jobs they can find to earn enough to buy food. They have no opportunity to attend school and little hope for the future.

Plan provides extra food and nutritional supplements to the terminally ill. We assist their children with school uniforms and fees to allow them to continue their education, and provide vocational training to the ones orphaned by the disease to increase their opportunities for earning an income. We also encourage school teachers and pupils to participate in HIV/AIDS community awareness training.
