BBC Spotlights Zimbabwe's AIDS Orphans Crisis

9 Jul 2009 - In the News

James Elder, working for UNICEF in Zimbabwe, creates a fascinating photo journal for BBC exploring the effects of AIDS on Zimbabwe, a country with more orphans per capita than any other in the world.

Elder, with photographs by Giacomo Pirozz, highlights the plight of Zimbabwe's nearly 1.6 million orphaned children- a number that grows faster by the moment. On a daily basis, nearly 400 adults will die of HIV-related causes and leave 70 children orphaned. The risks for these orphaned children are very real, particularly for young girls, who are three times more likely to become infected with HIV and are more susceptible to abuse and forced marriages than those whose parents are alive.

While most of these orphans will be taken in by extended relatives, the vast majority of this burden falls upon grandparents, who struggle to provide and care for children in their advanced age.

Better late than never - the realization that prevention along with treatment is paramount for an effective response is long overdue. While PEPFAR I focused on the “emergency” of getting treatment to the heavily affected countries and giving people hope, the efforts to support comprehensive prevention efforts and provide people with a greater sense of hope that they can prevent themselves and others from getting infected have been less than optimal and the step up to increase these efforts is welcome.

The United Methodist Church is responding to the AIDS crisis in Zimbabwe through The United Methodist Church of Zimbabwe and the General Board of Global Ministries. The United Methodist Church of Zimbabwe is the third largest Christian tradition, behind the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, with about 100,000 members. It is bringing grassroots solutions to the AIDS pandemic in far greater proportion than their numbers. The General Board of Global Ministries (GBGM) is the worldwide mission agency of 10 million United Methodists in Europe, the Philippines and the United States as well as Africa.

Within GBGM, the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and Health and Welfare Ministries are two units responding to this crisis. UMCOR is the humanitarian relief and development agency of the United Methodist Church. Health and Welfare Ministries is the health care training and promotion agency of the United Methodist Church. It works to create and improve health care delivery throughout the world.
