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.
==History==
Aidchild was founded by Nathaniel Dunigan.
Dunigan first visited Uganda when he was Deputy Director of the Office of the Governor in Tucson, Arizona. A one-month assignment as a volunteer HIV-prevention educator had taken him to Africa where he met many children who were suffering and dying. On his return to the US, he resolved to make a difference, and completed a feasibility study for his Aidchild concept. At the age of 26, he resigned from his job, sold his car and belongings, and moved to Uganda.〔 He had an initial budget of just $3,500. Two years later, Aidchild was chosen by the Ugandan and American governments as a model of pediatric HIV/AIDS care for the entire continent of Africa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The AIDS/HIV Integrated Model District Programme )〕 A second center was created just after that, as was a treatment laboratory that has served the needs of more than 3,000 children and adults living with AIDS.
