THE PITCH

World AIDS Orphans Day (May 7, 2008) is a grassroots campaign to draw attention to and advocate on behalf of the millions of children orphaned by AIDS.

More than 15 million children worldwide have lost one or both parents to AIDS. By 2010, the number of AIDS orphans worldwide is expected to climb to an estimated 20 – 25 million children.

Too little attention is given to orphans and vulnerable children. Fewer than 1 in 10 orphans receives any external support.

Governments should direct at least 10% of their overall HIV and AIDS funding to support AIDS orphans and vulnerable children.

Speak up for orphans. It’s easy to get involve. Host a World AIDS Orphans Day event. Lobby world leaders. Generate press coverage about the orphans crisis. Spread the word.

Your voice is their future.
