    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, in view of the steady rise in the number of children orphaned as a result of the HIV/AIDS scourge; aware that such children are subjected to untold suffering owing to lack of family support with most of them dropping out of school thus increasing their vulnerability and exposure to early pregnancies, child labour and further HIV infection; bearing in mind that the children lack shelter, food, clothing, medical facilities and the much needed psychosocial support; this House grants leave for the introduction of a Bill entitled \"the Orphaned and Vulnerable Children's Fund Bill\" to provide for educational and psychosocial support, shelter, food and clothing for the affected children so as to tap their enormous potential of becoming resourceful and responsible citizens and for matters incidental thereto and connected therewith. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the HIV/AIDS pandemic is the worst health challenge that humanity faces. Today, especially in Africa, it is the worst challenge to the continent. The HIV/AIDS pandemic has no cure and causes high mortality among the adult population."
