Pitt recently toured Africa and visited Save the Children programs in Ethiopia.
Brad was promoting the ONE Campaign which is the US equivalent of Make Poverty
History.
Brad spent time talking with young children who participate in
Save the Children's HIV/AIDS program with orphans and vulnerable children in
Debre Zeit, Ethiopia. One of these children is Meron, a shy 13-year-old girl
who lost her mother to AIDS two years ago. Meron now lives with a friend of her
mother's who cares for her.
Only a small minority of children like
Meron who lose one or both parents to AIDS live in orphanages. In many
countries, including Ethiopia, there is a strong culture and tradition of
family and community. Most of the children orphaned by AIDS remain in their
villages among family and friends who do their best to support and care for
them.
Save the Children works with communities and local governments to
provide care and support for these children. We help children stay in school,
ensure they get adequate protection, food, and healthcare, and give them
options for the future. We also help children cope with the grief and trauma of
losing one or both parents to AIDS.
In Meron's town alone, only 1,600
of the nearly 10,000 children orphaned are enrolled in Save the Chidren's
programs
