HIV/AIDS Care

When Marina* was 5 years old, she and her mother were diagnosed with HIV. They received free antiretroviral treatment from the government, but they also required a balanced diet to boost their immune systems, which posed a financial challenge for their family who lived in poverty. Thankfully, Marina was soon enrolled in the local Compassion program where she received support. Now, fast-forward 12 years. COVID-19 just hit Burkina Faso. Marina’s father lost his job and food became scarce again. But thanks to friends like you who gave HIV/AIDS Care, the Compassion staff provided food and medical checkups for Marina and her family. Your gift ensures that victims of HIV are cared for at all times — thank you!
