This title draws together the statistics and analyses on the impacts of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the children of South Africa and provides a discussion of current interventions and their effectiveness to address the situation. This title has three main aims. One is to analyse the impacts of the HIV/AIDS epidemic upon the children of South Africa, with a focus on the health, welfare and education implications. Another is to examine the responses of families, communities, civil society and especially governments to the crisis confronting the children. Impacts and interventions critiques those responses and offers alternatives which may assist in ameliorating the impacts on children.
