S. Willie Layton Hospital

Your Foreign Mission Board is working hard to help fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic through our S.

The AIDS crisis is causing children to be left without parents, without resources and without hope.

• By the year 2010, there will be an estimated 106 million orphans worldwide
• Approximately one quarter will be orphaned due to AIDS
• Africa has the highest proportion of orphans – 12%
• The number of orphans in Africa is expected to increase from 34 million to 42 million in the years to come
