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.
