    International health care company, Hope and Care, have announced the launch of a project in 53 African countries to deliver relief and care to orphans and people living with HIV/AIDS. In a statement the organisation said its "Hope on Africa" project aimed to provide health care to 25 million HIV-positive people, as well as education for 191 million orphans and youth. The project will be sending 7,500 therapists to Africa to administer HIV/AIDS treatment, with the goal of reversing the spread of the pandemic.
