baby that Joy and Jim Jenkins first adopted was much like numerous babies who will be born this year with HIV
in the U.S. as well as through out the globe. The Jenkins
didn’t know just over a year later he would test negative for HIV and that
Children With AIDS Project of America would be
founded and gaining strength with the help of people like you.
Now CWA offers a variety of services for children infected/affected by AIDS or drug exposed infants who will require foster or adoptive families. CWA works to create adoptive, foster, family centered care programs that are both effective and compassionate.

| The aim of the Children With AIDS Project of America (CWA) is to transform the silence that surrounds HIV infected, affected children and AIDS orphans into an audible sound. This sound must be amplified until the needs are met for all children in the nation and globally affected by the AIDS epidemic. |
