World Vision's Hope Initiative exists to reduce the global impact of HIV and AIDS on children, enabling them to live life in all its fullness.
The initiative was launched in 2000 after development experts recognised the HIV pandemic put 50 years of our work at risk. The organisation seeks to tackle the causes of poverty and so help children, their families and communities to reach their full potential.
The impacts of AIDS endanger a family's health, a child's future and a community's efforts to have a reliable food supply, clean water, education, and economic development.
Recently revised estimates by the United Nations indicate that new HIV infections may have been in slow decline since 1998, but HIV incidence remains high globally. There were 2.5 million new HIV infections in 2007. Some countries are succeeding in reducing HIV prevalence rates but rates in many contexts are still increasing.
