AIDS Poverty Tree

AIDS Tree

Poverty does not cause AIDS, but it creates an environment which allows it to flourish. The AIDS poverty tree is a way of understanding how poverty fuels the AIDS pandemic and how AIDS perpetuates poverty.

Click on the tree for a full sized version.

The tree is based on ideas and material from Christian Aid and the World Development Movement and derives from a workshop at the Churches’ World Development Network Consultation at Swanwick in May 2002.
