Care: Battling Aids in Asia

At the heart of the root of the epidemic is stigma and discrimination. It’s an engine that helps spread the disease with fear and ignorance, giving it wings to spread all over the region.

Care: From Evidence to Action

A regional update of AIDS in Asia. The HIV epidemic in Asia and the Pacific is one of the most diverse in the world, with epidemiological trends varying widely depending on the country and sub-region. Epidemics in Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar show declining HIV prevalence, while those in Vietnam, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea are growing. New infections are also increasing in populous countries such as China and Bangladesh.

Care: The madness of King Coal

Coal, China’s black gold, is being mined and burned in increasing quantities – more than two billion metric tons in 2006 – in order to fuel China’s booming economy. Seventy percent of China’s energy comes from coal, the dirtiest of all fuels to produce energy.

Care: The Dying Game

Care: Stolen Lives

 Raising awareness of human trafficking through film.

Care: Band of Sisters

Life on the streets of Davao in the Philippines is tough, especially for the city’s youth. Drugs, prostitution and violence are daily realities. For many teenage girls, belonging to a gang provides protection and a sense of belonging.

Care: Friends Without a Border

In 1999, the Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) opened its doors in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Over the past 10 years, the AHC and other programmes of Friends have gained the attention of national and international communities, garnering endorsements and requests for collaboration from Cambodia’s Ministry of Health, as well as non-governmental organisations (NGO s) such as Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Care: Behind the Glitz and Glamour
