AIDS Knows No Boundaries

Although the Bayaka pigmies of Central African Republic have lived in remote locations in the rainforest for generations, AIDS has still found a way to reach them. It only takes one person becoming infected with the HIV and the potential for the disease to spread to an entire community becomes very high. As HIV/AIDS can be spread in many ways including during the birth and through breast feeding.

There are roughly 33 million people currently living with HIV/AIDS, and 2/3 of those people live in Sub-Saharan Africa. Learn how Blood:Water Mission is working to combat the crisis in communities like those of the Bayaka, and learn more about the HIV/AIDS crisis by clicking the link below:
