AIDS Initiative to Receive $10 Million from Gates Foundation

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

October 30, 2001

Five major humanitarian organizations have become partners to form the Hope for African Children Initiative to benefit children orphaned or otherwise affected by the AIDS epidemic. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will provide $10 million to the project. Plan International, Save the Children, the Society for Women and AIDS in Africa, the World Conference on Religions and Peace, and CARE hope to raise $100 million over the next five years. The new project will work with existing community programs to provide services such as testing children for HIV and ensuring that children continue to receive education and health care following the death of a parent.
