Child headed families

Child headed families are on the increase as a result of HIV/AIDS. This is really horrible and sad because it takes away their childhood as he/she needs to become an adult and a parent to their siblings yet he/she still needs parent guidance. They have to go find jobs in order to put food on the table for their siblings and themselves. They have to make sure that their siblings have everything that they need and always put their own needs last. Their dreams of becoming professionals are shattered as they quit school at a young age and chances of them ever going back to school are slim. This is a real serious problem and something should be done as children are the future of the country but, how can they be the future if they are not educated. Each and everyone of us has a role to play  to make sure that every child gets education even if they no longer have parents.
