For every child directly infected by HIV/AIDS, many more are deeply affected and challenged by the loss of parents, siblings, and other family members. The challenges of HIV/AIDS on families are particularly acute for underserved youth and the effects are disproportionate felt among communities of color.
Aimed to fill a gap in HIV/AIDS support services, since 1988 Sunburst Projects has been providing family support services, including Camp Sunburst, the nation’s first therapeutically designed summer camp program for HIV/AIDS children and their families.
