AIDS in Africa - Orphans and Education
The AIDS Monster in Africa is clearly raging out of control and it is taking its toll killing so many, as this happens children are being born with AIDS and children's parents are dying leaving them orphaned. The challenges seem nearly impossible to fix and yet there is a glimmer of hope from some very smart and innovative groups.
Groups like KENWA are using a multi-faceted approach to solving this crisis by working in small community villages. The millions facing sure death is almost an overwhelming catastrophe, but by setting precedence and showing that their model has a proven success rate.
Yet they realize that even if they are able to stop AIDS in these villages from spreading that there are also issues with sustainable agriculture and education to deal with as well. Education will help in breaking the cultural norms and preventing AIDS, but also primary education too is needed for the children who will soon be running things as the older folks have died or are dying of AIDS?
Then there is the issue of the Digital Divide a chasm which is hard to cross when these regions have no power or electricity either. Perhaps you have heard of the $100 computers that MIT is working on, these can be used for the classrooms and yes schools need to be built too. Prefab pop-up construction technologies and simple dome shaped houses are available.
It seems it is possible and once this model is proven then KENWA will have something that can be used to solve the problems of the continent.
