The Aidchild pilot site (located in the Kijjabwemi
Village of Masaka, Uganda, East Africa) has been
selected by the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID)—in cooperation with
the Ugandan government—to serve as a model
of pediatric AIDS care for orphans continent-wide.
Started in November 2000, the pilot site serves
orphans with urgent medical and psychosocial needs.
A second Aidchild site is now also operating in
Mpigi, Uganda, while plans for others are underway
through the AIDS Integrated Model District
Programme(AIM), the US Centers for Disease
Control (CDC), and the Aidchild
Foundation.
