What is "aidchild"

Aidchild, a not-for-profit organization incorporated in both Uganda and the United States, was established in 2000 as a hospice center for orphans living with AIDS who did not have the care of extended family members. In 2002, it became the first pediatric facility in Uganda to provide free anti-retroviral drugs to children. Today, more than 3,000 children have received care and treatment through Aidchild's inpatient and outpatient services, including a laboratory, two clinics, homes and academies in Masaka and Mpigi, Uganda.

Aidchild is supported by a mix of government and private donors and income-generating activities.
