We have learned that providing only HIV medications to children living with HIV is not enough to ensure that children beat back HIV, stay healthy, and attend school.

In October 2022, we had shared information about the approval and launch of a malaria vaccine by the WHO. Recently we received exciting news; the new malaria vaccine is overdelivering on its efficacy.

“Safe Park”, is a community outreach program that promotes the physical/mental development, and healing of children by utilizing research and evidence-based interventions implemented by health workers trained in trauma management. This program is open to all children from the community and its goal is to assess children’s behavior and foster learning through educational games and workshops.

Executive Summary

Thank you! The Power of Love team and our Zambian families are grateful for your support for our pediatric HIV care program in Zambia. Your continued support and love over the last several years is building a community of healthy, well-informed children, and families self-reliant in taking care of their health.

Is malaria a problem? In 2022, malaria claimed 608,000 lives globally (6% higher than pre-COVID), with Sub-Saharan Africa accounting for 94% of malaria cases and deaths. Zambia, one of 20 countries with the highest malaria incidence and mortality, has a high prevalence of malaria co-infection with HIV and TB.

A quick positive update. Zambia has been going through a cholera outbreak since last October. With more than 19,000 cases, 600 deaths, and a case fatality rate of 3.5% this is the worst cholera outbreak since 2017. The government has launched an aggressive campaign deploying oral vaccines to curb the spread of cholera.
