We have our challenge.

Donation-Based Charity

Objective: To prolong and improve the health and quality of life for HIV-positive orphans.

These orphans who suffer from HIV are among some of the most vulnerable people. Deprived of parents, they are without emotional support. Born HIV-positive, their lives are declared fragile and limited from birth. Belonging to a third-world country, these children do not have access to the proper health care that grants them life.

As a charitable organization, we aim to change this helpless situation.

How you can help:

HIV-positive children rely on monthly medication that prevents the onset of AIDS. Each month without medication brings the child one dangerously large step closer to death.  By using your donations, we can provide the proper medication to allow a child to live.

If you choose, you can even be in contact with the child you help, so you will know the results of your kindness. You will be able to communicate with your new friend via pictures and letters.

Virtual Charity

Objective:  To create a virtual network of volunteers and work together as a team to achieve goals.

In operating as a virtual team, volunteers can contribute their many talents in a more accessible way.  Time and location are no longer set restrictions that prevent volunteers from helping.  Volunteers can contribute after dinner from their own homes, during a short lunch break from the office, or whenever and wherever it is convenient.  In this way, we hope to recruit the many different skills of diverse individuals, and combine them to battle this HIV/AIDS epidemic.

How you can help:   

Any little thing that you have to contribute will make a difference.  Whether you are an accountant, a webpage designer, a photographer, a consultant, or just someone with a big heart, you have something that can help our virtual team.
