Preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS

Cliff's story is very different because before the programme started parents would die young, leaving a generation of grandparents raising grandchildren.

Cliff, aged 15, (in the red jumper) lost his mother when he was little. His grandparents Nicolas and Rita, in their mid seventies, care for Cliff and six others:

"Six of our sons and one of our daughters died from AIDS. How can this be? Our grandson Cliff is also HIV positive, but medical staff saw this in time and he is now on ARV therapy."
