Helping those in need ... |
In Ethiopia, there are over a million children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Many of these children have to contend with the loss of their parents and the responsibility of caring for younger siblings. That was why P2P identified the orphans issue as one of the areas where it could make contributions. |
