ONE ACT A WEEK - http://www.2015quilt.com

'Cause We Care!

ONE.ORG - Advocating for the end to extreme poverty in the world 


ONE ACT A WEEK Continued from 12/7/11


Our Quilt Panel For One.org

PANEL #35471


HERE’S WHY OUR HELP IS NEEDED:

  • AN HIV+ PREGNANT WOMEN CAN GIVE BIRTH TO AN HIV FREE BABY. 
  • 98% OF MOTHER-TO-CHILD HIV TRANSMISSION INCIDENTS ARE PREVENTABLE 
  • YET, MORE THAN 1,000 BABIES ARE BORN EVERY DAY WITH HIV
  • AND HALF OF CHILDREN BORN WITH HIV WILL DIE BEFORE THEIR 2ND BIRTHDAY WITHOUT TREATMENT
  • SO WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO VIRTUALLY END THE TRANSMISSION OF HIV FROM MOTHERS TO THEIR BABIES BY 2015? 
  • WE NEED TO GET 1.4 MILLION HIV+ PREGNANT WOMEN ON MEDICATION – MEDICATION THAT COSTS AROUND 40 CENTS A DAY 
  • IT’S DOABLE. 

THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF AIDS STARTS WITH YOU.
