Tourists and passers-by were taken aback when UNICEF's giant stork made a 'special delivery' to Alistair Darling, Chancellor of the Exchequer, at Number 11 Downing Street. Contrary to popular belief, the stork wasn’t delivering a newborn baby. Instead, it brought over 80,000 messages and signatures from UNICEF UK and Youth Voice campaigners, calling on Chancellor Alistair Darling to secure the funds needed to prevent babies around the world being born with HIV.

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador David Beckham encourages young people to enter UNICEF’s J8 competition, to win the chance to present their ideas on global issues to the G8 in Japan. The Junior 8 (J8) competition is a young person’s version of the G8 Summit. It provides young people with a platform to speak out about the global issues that are important to them and to voice their concerns to some of the most powerful leaders in the world. The winning team will get the chance to present their global proposals to the G8, jointly written with other young people from the G8 nations. Here, Beckham lends his support through a video message: “At UNICEF’s Junior 8 event later this year, young people from all over the world will gather in Japan, where the G8 is taking place, and have their voices and ideas heard by eight of the world’s most powerful leaders. Children have lots to say and good points to make. I think they should be listened to. After all, the issues that are discussed at meetings like the G8 affect children and young people just as much as adults. UNICEF is looking for young people to be part of J8. I really hope loads of children and young people will stand up and want to take part.” For more info and how to enter the competition, visit www.unicef.org.uk/youthvoice.

Narrated by Gwyneth Paltrow, The Gift is a dramatisation of a new poem by Simon Armitage, to highlight UNICEF UK’s Born Free from HIV campaign. Almost every minute of every day, a baby is born with HIV, passed on by their mother. This is because only one in five mothers with HIV receive the right medicine and care to prevent passing on the virus to their babies. But it doesn’t have to be like this. There is an effective treatment, costing less than £1, which can prevent a mother passing HIV to her baby. With the right medicine and care, more than 98 per cent of mothers with HIV do not pass the virus to their baby. With your help, the Born Free from HIV campaign aims to ensure that all mothers with HIV receive this medicine and care. We want world leaders to keep their promise, made at the G8 Summit in 2007, to ensure that all babies are born free from HIV. Visit www.unicef.org.uk/youthvoice.

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador David Beckham visited Sierra Leone in January 2008 to highlight the issue of child survival. He visited UNICEF programmes programmes including a therapeutic feeding centre in the town of Makeni in Northern Province. Beckham’s visit coincided with the launch of UNICEF’s “State of the World’s Children 2008” report. For more information visit www.unicef.org.uk/youthvoice.

Mathato Notsi discovered that she and her baby have HIV six weeks after giving birth. She did not test for HIV when she was pregnant, so neither she nor the baby received the drugs Nevirapine or AZT to prevent HIV transmission at birth. As a result, the baby was born with the virus. They are receiving ARV treatment. In the African kingdom of Lesotho almost one in every four adults is living with HIV, the third highest HIV prevalence rate in the world. One in three pregnant women in antenatal care is HIV positive, meaning that every year thousands of children risk being born with HIV, passed from mother to child during pregnancy or birth. UNICEF has helped to increase the number of clinics and hospitals offering Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) services that reduce the chances of babies being born with HIV. In these clinics, every pregnant mother is tested for HIV, given counselling and advice and if necessary, put on a life-saving anti retroviral (ARV) drug regime. Within eight hours of the birth, the newborn is also given a dose of the ARV Nevirapine. All of this increases the chances of the baby being born free from HIV. However, despite ongoing efforts, today only 20% of all HIV positive women in the country can access PMTCT. As a result, one in ten of all babies are born with HIV in Lesotho. Photographer Gideon Mendel travelled to Lesotho in November 2007 and the resulting Lesotho Voices films, images and words tell the personal stories of several women there. The women are from different regions of the country, all are living with HIV. Some of them have benefited from PMTCT. Others have suffered without access to these vital services.

Parents Marafelie and Mohloni Khechane are both HIV positive. Marafelie received PMTCT and her son Selebalo was born free of HIV. The Khechane family live in Mohale’s Hoek, Lesotho. Mother, Marafelie, and father, Mohloni, are both living with HIV and are part of a support group for people who are HIV positive. When Marafelie was pregnant with their youngest child, Selebalo, she received prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services. Selebalo was given a drop of ARVs shortly after birth and the process was successful: Selebalo tested HIV negative.

Matiesetso Pahlabaki found out she was HIV positive when she was pregnant with Retsepile but did not take it seriously. She was badly advised and did not go back to the hospital for further check-ups. She gave birth at home without access to medication to help prevent her passing HIV to her child. She did not receive any advice about feeding options either - UNICEF recommends that HIV positive women with no access to safe alternatives should breastfeed exclusively for 6 months. As a result, Matiesetso has never breastfed her baby - instead, she has fed her basic porridge since birth. The baby has not been tested for HIV but is very sick and malnourished.

Lerato Chakalane gives birth to a baby girl, Kelumetse, in Mohale’s Hoek Hospital, Lesotho. Lerato was tested for HIV when she was three months pregnant and discovered she was HIV positive. She was immediately enrolled in a programme preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The service also ensured that her baby was given a drop of the anti-retroviral drug Nevirapine shortly after birth to prevent transmission of HIV.

Mathakane Metsing, 24, is HIV positive and very open about her status. Her 18-month-old daughter Blessing was born free from HIV because Mathakane went through a comprehensive prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) programme in Mafeteng Hospital in Lesotho, services which are supported by UNICEF. Mathakane now uses her personal experiences to counsel other women about the importance of preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
