  • Children are roaming in the streets of Langa township, an impoverished area of Cape Town. Poverty and AIDS are collaborating in the creation of millions of orphans throughout the whole of Africa. Many of them will end up committing crimes, prostituting or living on the street. Numerous organisation provides now help for street children, but without an integral and reliable governmental response to the crises, it can't be solved. International donors should provide help targeted at developing poor areas and employment, in unison with fighting HIV/AIDS and carrying on education programmes.A greater distribution of ARVs and poverty alleviation would also enhance to chances of the parents to educate and love their children. Living with HIV means also not dying  prematurely, leaving young children where they were struggling to survive.
