The primary focus of the Mother and Infant Care Program: Project Mongu is HIV positive women and their infants in the city of Mongu , the capital of Western Province in the African nation of Zambia . Currently, twenty percent of the population of Mongu is infected with HIV/AIDS. HIV positive pregnant women transmit HIV to their unborn children, through pregnancy, during childbirth or breastfeeding, at a rate of 20%. With a population of 44,000 in Mongu, approximately 100 children per month are infected with HIV/AIDS.
