About this Nonprofit
| Mission: | The African American Planning Commission (AAPCI) Inc., is fulfilling its mission by operating a domestic violence program for abused families with children in the community. |

| Description: |
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THE FACTS: One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year. The majority (73%) of family violence victims are female. Females were 84% of spousal abuse victims and 86% of abuse victims at the hands of a boyfriend. The cost of intimate partner violence exceeds $5.8 billion each year, $4.1 billion of which is for direct medical and mental health services. Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults. Please visit Serenity House online at http://aapci.org/services/index.htm l and make a tax-deductible donation in support of survivors of domestic violence.

| HIV/AIDS IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY : | HIV/AIDS IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY THE FACTS: While only 12 percent of the total American population, African Americans make up 37 percent of total American AIDS cases. More than 50 percent of new reported HIV infections in the United States is among African Americans. AIDS is the number one cause of death in the U.S. for Black adults aged 25 to 44, before heart disease, cancer and homicide. In the U.S., one in 50 Black men and one in 160 Black women is HIV-positive. Black senior citizens represent more than 50 percent of HIV cases among persons over age 55. Although only 15 percent of the adolescent population in the United States is Black, over 60 percent of AIDS cases reported in 1999 among 13-19 year olds were among Blacks. Black children in the U.S. represent almost two-thirds (62 percent) of all reported pediatric AIDS cases.

| HIV/AIDS IN AFRICA: | INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES HIV/AIDS IN AFRICA THE FACTS: HIV/AIDS marks a severe development crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa, the worst-affected region in the world. Even if exceptionally effective prevention, treatment and care programmes take hold immediately, the scale of the epidemic means that the human and socioeconomic toll will remain massive for many generations. 93% of all children with HIV/AIDS live in Sub-Saharan Africa. 430,000 children died of AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa in 1997. By the end of the year 2000, a cumulative total of 13 million children -- the majority in Africa, will have lost one of both parents to AIDS. Approximately 3.5 million Africans became infected in 2001, bringing the total number of adults and children living with HIV/AIDS in this region to 28.5 million. The estimated number of children orphaned by AIDS living in the region is 11 million. Some 2.2 million Africans died of AIDS in 2001. It is projected that, between 2000 and 2020, 55 million Africans will die earlier than they would have in the absence of AIDS. (These projections are based on the assumption that prevention, treatment and care programmes will have a modest effect on the growth and impact of the epidemic in the next two decades.)
