Lisebo's Story

Lisebo, seven years old, arrived at the clinic as a very sick little girl. A month after beginning treatment, her immune system was already starting to recover. Her mother is delighted with her progress, and reports that Lisebo has not had any problems with the medication. Like many children, she responded quickly to the treatment and showed progress almost immediately.

Lisebo's story is not unusual. What makes it uncommon is that she was able to receive the life-saving medications required for her to have a healthy and longer life. There are 2.3 million children worldwide living with HIV, nearly all of them in the developing world.
