Recent budget cuts in the prevention of HIV are a cause for concern. According to a UN report, the number of people who received PrEP medication (an HIV prevention med), declined by 38% between 2025 and 2024. Despite this scenario, we continue to provide training in caring for family members living with HIV, psychosocial support, food, and medicines and add services such as mental health counseling so that all children stay healthy, and in school.
For 23 years, the Power of Love Foundation has provided a comprehensive package of healthcare services to children and families living with HIV in slum neighborhoods in Lusaka, Zambia. Our collaboration with government clinics, who provide ARV medicines free of cost to families, has resulted in reducing viral loads for all children and in helping them live close to normal lives. With better health, all school age children are attending school. In addition, every year several children graduate high school and a few enroll in vocational training courses.
Your support for our programs in the areas of healthcare, income generation, and education keeps children in school and families healthy, stabilizes incomes, and grows leaders and entrepreneurs. We see this every day on the ground. As always, every dollar you donate goes directly to our programs— none is used for overhead costs.
Thank you for keeping children healthy and in school.
