Childhood is a once in a lifetime opportunity filled with happiness that every child deserves to experience. Millions of children who are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS have no idea what childhood should be. Angelwish was created to make it easy for you to change that.
The needs of children living with HIV/AIDS range from toys to medication or nutritional support. Angelwish works with over 85 HIV/AIDS Care Centers in the United States including TWC and an additional 43 Care Centers in 37 countries on 6 continents. We invite you to grant a wish today and see how simple it is to help around the corner or around the world.
Angelwish is dedicated to helping children living with HIV/AIDS making it a perfect partner in the provision of our services to women, girls, and families.
Join us this holiday in making a wish!

Washington, D.C. is facing a modern epidemic, with the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the United States. In its response to this crisis, the D.C. government has failed to recognize the way policies, and structural factors have interacted to increase women’s vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. As a result, women have one of the fastest growing rates of HIV infections in D.C. Yet, the District has no integrated and multi-sectoral HIV Policy and its Care and Prevention plans lack a concerted government strategy to address the HIV/AID crisis for women.
This human rights report, entitled A Capitol Offense: The Gender Dimensions of Washington D.C.’s HIV/AIDS Crisis, was written with the goal of beginning a dialogue in the District about women’s unique needs in the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the way in which a human rights framework can best address the current gender gaps in District’s approach to HIV/AIDS. The report is the result of a partnership between The Women’s Collective – an organization run by and for HIV-positive women in the District – working on the front lines of the HIV/AIDS crisis, and the International Women’s Human Rights Clinic at Georgetown University Law Center. |
