With the world's attention turned to the big game in South Africa, Nike has teamed up with the (RED) initiative to shine light on the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Currently, there are 22 million people in Africa suffering from HIV/AIDS. While it's true that there is a crisis, there is also a solution. The (RED) initiative supports the Global Fund which provides access to education, nutrition, counselling and medical services. The Global Fund not only helps prevent HIV/AIDS but also treats those currently suffering from the disease by providing the two pills a day people with HIV/AIDS need to stay alive.
With two pills a day that cost as little as 27 pence, a person dying in Africa from complications from AIDS can be raised from near death and given a renewed chance at life. This transformation is called the Lazarus Effect. These two antiretroviral (ARV) pills a day are more than just medicine. They are a person's chance to get up on their feet, go to school or go to work and contribute to their communities. This treatment helps people reach their full potential and allows communities and countries to create a future.
Mafusi, aged 11 and HIV positive since birth, is shown here before she started ARV treatment. Within a month of being diagnosed with AIDS and Tuberculosis, Mafusi was already so weak she had to be carried by her brother and sister down the road to her treatment centre. The second photo is Mafusi just 90 days after starting ARV treatment. Having regained over 10 pounds and her strength, she is once again a vibrant young girl who has her life ahead of her.
To date, Global Fund grants supported by the (RED) initiative have reached 5 million people in Africa with ARV treatment, testing, counselling and services.
