25:40 is a nonprofit organization dedicated to help children in South Africa survive the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Many of these children have lost one or both parents to AIDS and many are HIV+ themselves.
The most recent estimates predict that there are more than 12.1 million children who have been orphaned by AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. Roughly 1.9 million children under the age of 14 have HIV/AIDS. When joined with their parents, the number of people who have died climbs to a devastating 2.2 million. In South Africa alone, more than 1.1 million children have lost both parents to this pandemic, and with approximately 5.3 million adults suffering from HIV/AIDS, the impact is only destined to grow more severe.
As shocking and sad as the statistics are, there is hope. It begins with small efforts. One person at a time. One child at a time. We can make a difference.
25:40 supports and fosters the creation of orphanages, health clinics, day care centers, schools and other entities that are critical to the care and health development of children impacted by AIDS.
