In Akwa Ibom, Rivers, and Benue state Nigeria, 29,162 children live with HIV, many lacking consistent access to treatment and proper nutrition. Missed medication doses and limited healthcare increase their risk of infections, stunted growth, and early death. This project provides antiretroviral therapy, nutritional support, and regular medical monitoring to help children stay healthy, attend school, and avoid preventable illnesses.
