About Save the Children
Working worldwide, Save the Children fights for children who suffer from poverty, disease, injustice and violence, working with them to find lifelong answers to the problems they face.
An estimated 1.4 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in Mozambique and 14 percent of these are children. It is projected that by 2010, there will be approximately 1.5 million orphans in Mozambique. Save the Children has created a home-based care programme as a natural entry point to reach vulnerable children before their parent or caretaker dies. By addressing the needs of children in a household with a terminally ill parent or caretaker, issues of vulnerability can be addressed long before a child becomes an orphan. Coping strategies for children can begin to be developed before the death of a parent or caretaker, reducing the economic, social, and psychological effect of the loss of the parent or caretaker.
