Lisa's Pride is Sister Marion's gift to children who are HIV-positive in east Africa.

Around the world, children remain the most vulnerable. They’re among our most helpless victims. When violence, famine and disease hit, a child survives by turning to her parents. But what if your mom and dad already fell victim to these tragedies? 

That’s the reality for 970,000 AIDS orphans in Tanzania, where poverty is a way of life for more than a third of the people. At last count, there were more than 14 million children in sub-Saharan Africa who had lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS, says the United Nations.
