The Orphan Generation

Community-based care and support for children orphaned by AIDS

1992; 50 minutes. Includes These are our Children, 10 minutes.
Available in English, French and Swahili.

By the year 2000, 10 to 15 million children worldwide will have lost one or both parents through AIDS. Most of these orphans will be in sub-Saharan Africa.

Uganda is one of many African countries where a generation of 'AIDS orphans' is growing up without parental guidance or support, and faced with a legacy of hunger, poverty and grief.

These are our Children (10 minutes) — a powerful appeal to political leaders, planners and aid donors to support local communities in meeting the basic needs of AIDS orphans. It can also be used as a general introduction to the AIDS orphans issue.

The Orphan Generation (40 minutes) — focuses on the struggles of one Ugandan village to cope with the deepening orphan crisis. Local development and social workers explain how the needs of these children can be met - and their rights protected - by support for community-based organisations rather than institutional care.

The video is available on DVD (price £10)
