HIV and AIDS terminology:

At Cecily's Fund, we follow UNAIDS' terminology guidelines and avoid using the term "HIV/AIDS". We refer to "HIV" (human iimmunodeficiency virus) and "AIDS" (acquired inmmunodeficiency syndrome) separately and in the appropriate contexts. We use "HIV/AIDS" only in direct quotes or as names of organisations.

Cecily's Fund is a UK registered charity
that makes it possible for Zambian orphans
and other impoverished children
to go to school

HIV and AIDS in Africa are destroying families. School for orphans is often out of reach. We've teamed up with local organisations to keep our promise that we will support the education of orphans and vulnerable children right to the end of their school careers. Join us and help give them hope!

Stories from Zambia

Edina (pictured top left), lives with her elderly grandmother and four others in a small, two-room house in an impoverished suburb of Lusaka. Edina's story is typical of so many children in Zambia, whose lives have been blighted by HIV. Cecily's Fund is proud to be making education for orphans like Edina possible. Education will provide her with emotional support, skills and confidence, so that one day she can realise her hope of becoming a nurse and caring for her grandmother. >> Read her story
