Within the region of Arusha there is one home for infants and toddlers; however, they do not accept HIV positive babies and are often overflowing. The SOS children's village, located nearby, specializes in school-age children. Presently, infants who are orphaned or abandoned usually stay in a hospital because there is no place to care for them. In Tanzania ten percent of the adult population is affected by the AIDS virus. Since HIV is accelerated by pregnancy, many women die from AIDS leaving a nursing infant with no one to provide adequate nutrition or care. Without intervention, whether or not the infant is infected with HIV, it would soon die from malnutrition. In Tanzania, there are a few organizations that is responding to the cries of orphaned and abandoned babies.
