Motion Text

That this House notes with regret that 68 million people are predicted to die because of AIDS in the 45 most affected African countries by 2020 and that there will be an estimated 40 million AIDS orphans; commends the work of charities such as the Nyumbani Orphanage in Nairobi, which provides care for AIDS orphans; and further commends Nyumbani's community-based outreach programme, Lea Toto, which helps children who have limited family support, and the pioneering work at the Nyumbani Village, which will provide a home for over 1,000 AIDS-affected orphans and their grandparents.
