Nutrition for Orphans and Vulnerable Children
Organization information
AIDSLink International
Location: Hatfield, South Africa
Summary
Adequate nutrition is vital for the health and survival of all individuals. HIV infection can lead to malnutrition, and a poor diet can speed the infection's progress. As HIV treatment becomes increasingly available critical questions are emerging about how well the drugs work in people who are short of food. We provide a healthy food and a nutritional shake to orphans, vulnerable children and parents/care givers who are either infected with HIV or are malnourished.
