Ethiopia: New Project Launched to Help Families Affected by HIV/AIDS in Addis Ababa

A $6.3 million community care campaign for families affected by HIV/AIDS has been launched in Ethiopia. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the government's HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office (HAPCO) have collaborated on a project to support HIV/AIDS affected households, women and children. According to recent studies in Ethiopia, almost two-thirds of deaths in the capital among people aged between 20 and 54 are AIDS-related.
