Book Synopsis The Effects of the AIDS Epidemic in East Africa and the Need for Formalities in Orphan Care by : Adrain Paul Stevens
Download or read book The Effects of the AIDS Epidemic in East Africa and the Need for Formalities in Orphan Care written by Adrain Paul Stevens and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid spread of AIDS will have far-reaching implications in East Africa over the next several decades. This thesis addresses the current status, likely future development, and prospective demographic, economic, and other impacts of the AIDS epidemic, and examines the options available for improving the current conditions. Addressing these issues are important to fully understand the total effects on the East African family and the challenge in dealing with this epidemic. Being that there are a vast array of entities that provide assistance to other countries and their people, there is a plethora of data available that deals with the needs and ills of various East African countries. Being that Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in Africa, I explored their current situation as well. East African families have traditionally cared for ill family members and orphaned children. However, due to the AIDS epidemic, families are challenged with the difficulty of caring for children especially in areas which have a high number of young adults dying. This situation places a tremendous amount of responsibility on teens and seniors who become responsible for supplying social and financial support for family that remain. In East Africa, the burden of caring for those infected and orphaned children becomes the sole responsibility of women, even those women who may also be infected by AIDS. Obviously, this can place a considerable amount of stress on the family. By way of feminist and family stress theories we can examine the ways in which women manage the stress and strain of their roles. Recommendations are offered for further research and program development.

Book Synopsis AIDS Orphans Rising by : Sister Mary Elizabeth Lloyd
Download or read book AIDS Orphans Rising written by Sister Mary Elizabeth Lloyd and published by Loving Healing Press. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every 15 seconds, a Child-Headed Household is Formed In the developing world, the death of parents from AIDS leaves behind little children, often four or five of them, who desperately want to stay together as a family—a Child-Headed Household. Imagine watching your mother and father slowly die before your eyes, leaving you to bury them and then to raise and care for your younger brothers and sisters. AIDS Orphans Rising takes you through the daily lives of these children and answers key questions, such as: Where do they live? How do they survive? What can I do to help? There are millions of AIDS orphans! Left alone, they will be uneducated, disenfranchised, and unwanted: ripe candidates for radicalization and exploitation by dictators and terrorists. If good people like yourself do not reach out to these children so they can get love, an education and set up in some profitable enterprise, civilization will deteriorate to a point that you will not even recognize it. Each chapter provides real solutions and actions that you can take now to help these children not only survive, but succeed. "The first edition of AIDS Orphans Rising was concerned with the invisible (and exploding) crisis of child-headed households in Africa. It was originally intended to serve as a resource guidebook for concerned teachers, researchers, nonprofit organizations, and policymakers. A funny thing happened; other people began reading the book, too! Sister Mary Beth has many beautiful stories of generous strangers, young and old, who have approached her to offer help. As a result, the perspective of this second edition has been reframed to inform concerned citizens everywhere." -- Connie Mariano, MD, FACP, author of The White House Doctor 100% of all profits from this book will go to help the Child-Headed Households For more info: www.AIDSOrphansRising.org Published by Loving Healing Press www.LovingHealing.com
Book Synopsis A Generation at Risk by : John Williamson
Download or read book A Generation at Risk written by John Williamson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a Foreword by Desmond Tutu, Generation at Risk brings insightful perspectives from experienced practitioners and researchers on how a better future can be secured for the millions of children who are being orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. The current situation of these children is grim, and while there has been significant action by governments, international organizations, religious bodies, and non-governmental organizations, the vast majority of children made vulnerable by AIDS have not benefited from any assistance beyond their own extended family and community. A Generation at Risk explains in straightforward terms what is required to fill this gap. The book addresses what needs to be done in the areas of education, community mobilization and capacity building, economic strengthening at household and community levels, psychosocial support, and the protection of children and the fulfilment of their rights.

Information about orphans in the region has increased significantly in recent years and research has become more rigorous. And, while information on other vulnerable children in the region lags far behind, the situation of some well-defined groups, such as children living with chronically ill parents, is now being studied more systematically.

Book Synopsis Crying for Our Elders by : Kristen E. Cheney
Download or read book Crying for Our Elders written by Kristen E. Cheney and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa has defined the childhoods of an entire generation. Over the past twenty years, international NGOs and charities have devoted immense attention to the millions of African children orphaned by the disease. But in Crying for Our Elders, anthropologist Kristen E. Cheney argues that these humanitarian groups have misread the ‘orphan crisis’. She explains how the global humanitarian focus on orphanhood often elides the social and political circumstances that actually present the greatest adversity to vulnerable children—in effect deepening the crisis and thereby affecting children’s lives as irrevocably as HIV/AIDS itself. Through ethnographic fieldwork and collaborative research with children in Uganda, Cheney traces how the “best interest” principle that governs children’s’ rights can stigmatize orphans and leave children in the post-antiretroviral era even more vulnerable to exploitation. She details the dramatic effects this has on traditional family support and child protection and stresses child empowerment over pity. Crying for Our Elders advances current discussions on humanitarianism, children’s studies, orphanhood, and kinship. By exploring the unique experience of AIDS orphanhood through the eyes of children, caregivers, and policymakers, Cheney shows that despite the extreme challenges of growing up in the era of HIV/AIDS, the post-ARV generation still holds out hope for the future.

Book Synopsis A Generation at Risk? by : Robyn Pharoah
Download or read book A Generation at Risk? written by Robyn Pharoah and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of children left orphaned and vulnerable by HIV/AIDS is receiving increasing attention worldwide. Yet, even as the global community acknowledges the human tragedy that orphaning on the scale heralded by the HIV/AIDS epidemic represents, it is widely speculated that large numbers of orphans may themselves represent a security challenge. By reducing the resources available to children and destabilising the institutions on which they depend - such as the family, school and community - it is argued that HIV/AIDS may severely affect children's development, creating generations of disenfranchised and potentially dysfunctional young people left with little alternative but engage in criminal and other threatening activities.
