The paediatrician Marie Meierhofer († 15. August 1998 in Unterägeri) created a concept for the support of aids orphans that served CO-OPERAID as a theoretical guideline for its work in Uganda. Until about 2010, the support for aids orphans was in focus of CO-OPERAID's work in different parts of Uganda.
