From the Paper:

Helping Children With HIV/AIDS In Africa Sub-Saharan Africa has been more heavily impacted by HIV/AIDs than any other region of the world. In 2007 alone approximately 22 million Africans were living with HIV. AIDS claimed 1.7 million African lives that same year (AVERT, HIV and AIDS in Africa, 2009). HIV/AIDS has left 12.3 million African children orphaned, a number expected to reach 25 million by 2010. There are currently 1.9 million children living with HIV/AID. That number is expected to rise as well, as up to 46% of the pregnant women in Africa are infected (Firelight Foundation, 2009).
