Create an NGO to help women who have had a misscarriage
May 27, 2008

In September 11, 2007 with 37 weeks of gestation, received the worst news that a mother could receive.
Doctors have not found the heartbeat of my daughter.
In September 13, my baby was born angel.

I live in Brazil, and at the time of that occurred, the things were not very well explained to me and I never came to see how she was.
After some time looking for information about support groups on the Internet, I found a site called A Small Victory and I was impressed with the quantity of information and services for mothers who lose their babies and delicacy with which touch on the subject.
Me drew more attention to NOT WHAT WE HAVE here in Brazil.
No one ever gave me information as those, and how that information would be useful at the time.
Thinking about it, I decided to found an NGO (non-governmental organization) that above this need, which can help all women who suffered a misscarriage and need a friendly hand and kind words and gestures.

I need to raise money to legalise the Organization, register domain, create the site, and keep it in on-line.
I would distribute the first LossKit with the help of you.

AIDS leaves 9 mln African children without mothers

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Some 9 million children in Africa have lost a mother to AIDS, British charity Save the Children said Monday, calling on donors to sharply increase aid to meet their needs.

"Incredibly, the impact of HIV and AIDS on children is still being ignored," Save the Children Chief Executive Jasmine Whitbread said in a statement.

The charity said in a report that a lack of testing facilities meant that many mothers, especially in the poorest countries, did not know their HIV status until they were ill and unable to fight off even the simplest infections.

"The AIDS pandemic robs millions of children of their childhoods as well as their mothers," Whitbread said. "Children are caring for their mothers, missing school, and having to work because their mothers are too sick to look after them."

The charity called for a focus on children orphaned by AIDS as well as sick parents, adding red tape was slowing aid flows.

"Donors must spend 12 percent of their AIDS funding on proper support for children," it said, adding this would amount to $6.4 billion over a three-year period.

In 2006, if Britain, the United States and Ireland met all their pledges, there would be $412 million committed for children -- or about one quarter of the $2.1 billion needed per year.

"This is best case scenario and it's not yet clear whether all of the donors will meet their commitments," a spokeswoman for Save the Children told Reuters by telephone from London.

The charity addressed its appeal to the G8 wealthy nations, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the World Bank and the European Commission.

Sub-Saharan Africa has about 10 percent of the world's population but 60 percent of the people living with HIV/AIDS.

More than 3 million Africans were infected with HIV in 2005, representing 64 percent of all new infections globally and more than in any previous year for the impoverished continent, according to UNAIDS, the lead U.N. agency against AIDS.

Across sub-Saharan Africa, an estimated 4.6 percent of young women aged 15 to 24 are infected with HIV, compared to 1.7 percent of young men, according to U.N. data.

Save the Children said most of the 19.2 million women living with HIV around the globe were already mothers.

"To truly make a difference we must also support children whose mothers are HIV positive," it said.

"In sub-Saharan Africa alone, more than 12 million children under the age of 15 have lost one or both parents to AIDS. By 2010, at current rates of HIV infection, this number is likely to increase to 18 million," Save the Children said.
