Fuyang County is a poor area in the northwestern corner of Anhui province bordering on Henan. The central Chinese government has recently designated Fuyang as one of several hard-hit though previously neglected AIDS areas. In Fuyang we are supporting the work of the AIDS Orphan Salvation Association of Fuyang (AOS), a small, fully registered Chinese non-profit non-governmental organization that provides a variety of important support services for children whose parents have been struck by AIDS. AOS is currently supporting over 200 children from AIDS-affected families.

AIDS Orphan Project

Below are pictures of children from AIDS-affected families in Fuyang taken by AFC project workers in July 2004. These children are being supported in various ways by the Fuyang AIDS Orphan Salvation Association with the help of AFC's AIDS Orphan Project.

This fund will help Chinese orphans who are left homeless or destitute because one or both parents have died from AIDS, and provide medical and educational support and foster care for the orphans, some of whom have been infected with HIV themselves.
