Join the Village by Village Campaign
to Save Lives in Malawi
 
With your help, in 2010 we will double the number of villages served at any one time to 80 and deploy a third Mobile Health Clinic in the southern region of Malawi.
 
Every Gift Helps!

A trustee will match your gifts up to $150,000 if you act now. Please donate before March 15, 2010 to take advantage of this challenge grant.


The Campaign's goal is to raise an additional $2 million above GAIA's annual budget to launch the following three-year interventions:

1. The GAIA Villages Program trains, equips and deploys rural women Caregivers in the new Campaign-funded villages to:
· Identify HIV-positive children and adults and help them access treatment and nutritional support;
· Support 3,500 orphans by providing food, clothing, and blankets and pay school fees for high school students;
· Daily visit 250-350 people with AIDS-related illnesses who need hospice-like care;
· Educate about AIDS prevention and facilitate HIV testing and counseling; and
· Develop village health committees and support groups and distribute bicycle ambulances.

2. The Mobile Health Clinic reaches these remote villages, where 85% of Malawian reside and face limited access to health care to:

· Test and counsel more than 3,000 people;
· Provide reproductive health, pre-natal and post-natal services to over 3,000 women;
· Monthly diagnose and treat more than 2,000 outpatients, including during the rainy season, treating more than 600 patients for malaria.
