HEAL THE WORLD....

MAKE HIV AN HISTORY.

 

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was established in 2002 with the support of then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and the world's leaders, to dramatically increase resources to fight three of the world's most devastating diseases. Since its creation, the Global Fund has become the dominant financer of programs to fight AIDS, TB and malaria, with US$15 billion for programs in 140 countries.

The Global Fund is an innovative partnership of governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. It is not an implementing agency – the Global Fund relies on local ownership, planning and expertise and enables countries to design and execute their own programs, and provides funds only on the basis of proven results to agreed performance targets to ensure that funds are used efficiently to create real change for people and communities.
Programs supported by the Global Fund have averted more than 3.5 million deaths by providing AIDS treatment for 2 million people, TB treatment for 4.6 million people, and by the distribution of 70 million insecticide-treated bed nets for the prevention of malaria worldwide.

Global Fund financing has also:

• Reached 62 million people with HIV counseling and testing
• Provided 3.2 million AIDS orphans with basic care and support
• Reached 91 million people with community outreach services for one or several of the three diseases
• Trained 7.6 million health or community workers to deliver services

(RED) is the Global Fund’s largest private sector contributor

The Global Fund, working together with (RED) and the countries in question, has selected established grants with sound performance to receive money raised through (RED). To date, (RED) partners have generated $140 million for the Global Fund. No overhead is taken out of these funds – 100% of this money flows to Global Fund financed AIDS grants in Ghana, Lesotho, Rwanda and Swaziland.
In these countries this money is helping to finance comprehensive national HIV AND AIDS programs led by the ministries of health to provide antiretroviral treatment for children and adults, assist in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, support essential counseling and testing activities to reduce the overall risk of HIV transmission.
Additional contributions of funds will continue to be made to these programs as they achieve tangible, measurable results in their lifesaving work. Additional amounts of money are sent by the Global Fund to (RED) grants according to the grants’ own requests to the Global Fund – usually every 3 to 6 months. As with all Global Fund grants, additional funds are sent only once results in-country have been reported and verified.
