From AIDSfreeAFRICA Donor Anne Richards, Ossining, NY: Rolande...It's great to see you reaching out to the community! So often I find that people want to help, but don't know how. At other times, they have materials to donate, but have no idea of how to start looking for an organization who will directly distribute these items to the people who need them. I know how many times you have tightly packed what we have given you (and more) in your suitcases! I'm so glad that you are able to get more supplies down to Cameroon this time around. What a blessing that container is...I hope it is packed to the gills at departure time! I'm not sure how many people know just how much you live and breathe AIDSfreeAFRICA...how you absolutely put your heart and soul into it...and the people of Cameroon. I do. I take my hat off to you, dear friend. Those with whom you work (as Ian said "your Cameroonians") are very very fortunate to have you indeed. Here is the link to the updated "Supplies Needed" list... http://aidsfreeafrica.blogspot.com/2012/03/please-donate-used-lap-top-computers.html |

Investment in revolving drug fund increases patient treatments Definition: Donation of $2000 buys drugs, test kits and reagents to stock a rule village clinic. Doctor or nurse can now make the diagnosis and sell appropriate medicine for the patient to recuperate and in some cases to stay alive. The clinic returns money to the revolving drug fund in small installments. With this money AIDSfreeAFRICA buys a new medicine, test kits and reagents, thus creating a revolving mechanism of buying drugs and treating patients that is self sustainable and creates an income that can be used to improve hospital services. |

Why Charity alone is not the answer? "Poor people seek dignity, not dependence. Traditional charity often meets immediate needs but too often fails to enable people to solve their own problems over the long term. Market-based approaches have the potential to grow when charitable dollars run out, and they must be a part of the solution to the big problem of poverty." Quote from Acumen Foundations web site. "Free" is not free, it squelches initiatives, it encourages people to stay poor in order to receive more "free" handouts. The cost is prosperity. |
AIDSfreeAFRICA is designed to turn your donations into incentives for people to grow, to be in charge, to take risk, to create jobs and to create infrastructures that last. | |
