Sub-Saharan, Africa is more heavily affected by AIDS than any other region of the world. There is an estimated 14 million AIDS orphans and that number is expected to grow to 20 million by 2010.

AIDS Orphans and Street Children in ministry alongside Teen Missions International, opened its first Orphan Rescue Unit in November of 2001. The new concept in taking the “orphanage to the orphan” has been very successful and is literally saving lives. Through these Units, we are meeting the needs of children who once had no one to care for them. Graduates of our national Bible schools facilitate each Unit and assist the children by providing them with:

• Medical treatment and the provision of malaria and other common preventative medications.
• Food during nutrition seminars and teaching them how to plant gardens and care for animals to prevent starvation.
• Educational opportunities by providing school fees and uniforms for primary education. Camps for spiritual and social development.
