Book excerpt: The HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has already orphaned a generation of children -- and now seems set to orphan generations more. Over 11 million children under the age of 15 living in SSA have been robbed of one or both parents by HIV/AIDS. By 2010, 20% of the children in a dozen countries will be orphans. This report details the life circumstances of today's orphans with new data and fresh analyses. Offers the possibility of change if certain things are done now. Presents a strategy for ensuring that all of Africa's orphaned children have a safe, healthy and well-educated childhood, establishing the foundation for a productive adult life and for their countries development. It encourages hope in the face of an epic disaster. Illustrations.
