Africa Youth Ministries Uganda is greatly involved in the HIV/AIDS awareness & prevention campaigns focused on secondary schools. This is in response to the staggering currents statistics released by UNAIDS, which indicate a high rate of infections between the ages of 14-25. In Sub-Saharan Teens and young adults ages 15-24 currently make up almost a third of the 42 million people known to be living with HIV/AIDS. UNAIDS Statistics on Uganda indicate between 90,000-136,000 young women aged 14-24 are living with HIV/AIDS and 39,000-58,000 young men are living with HIV/AIDS. Sub-Saharan Africa has been more devastated by the HIV/AIDS epidemic than any other world region. The epidemic is taking an enormous toll on the region’s youth: Nearly 10 million women and men aged 15–24—roughly one in 14 young adults—are living with HIV/AIDS, and half of new infections in 2003 occurred among this age-group.

In addition, youth have suffered indirectly from the epidemic: Millions of children and teenagers in Sub-Saharan Africa have lost at least one parent to AIDS.

The HIV/AIDS epidemic has created an orphan crisis in this nation; its believed over 1.5 million Ugandan children under 14 have lost a parent or both to the epidemic. These children are left helpless, Africa Youth Ministries is supporting such Children through education support which includes scholastic materials e.g. Books, Pens, pencils, and school uniform.
