| Three ways to help: |
Help provide access to medical care by purchasing SMS credits that will be donated to AIDS patients
in South Africa.
There are millions of people in South Africa struggling to survive with HIV/AIDS. For many the
greatest hurdle is to establish their status with a doctor and to maintain medical treatment to stay
alive. Despite the extreme poverty, a large percentage of the population have a cellphone as their one
form of communication. Docvia allows that cell phone to become a lifeline, by creating a secure text
message interface for doctors and patients to communicate sensitive information and maintain
treatment. For patients of the PHRU, an HIV/AIDS research unit at a hospital in Soweto, South
Africa who’s focus is to prevent pregnant mothers from transmitting the virus to their child, a text
message will help them to maintain a treatment regimen that could save the life of their child.
$6.50 will provide 1 month of SMS messaging for the PHRU to communicate with a pregnant
mother in their care.
Our Goal
One month's access to medical care for 250 mothers.
One month is the minimum amount of time that a mother would need to be part of HIVSA’s
program to increase the chances of their child being born without the virus.

Provide education by building a school through one of the leading organizations helping children
through education: Free The Children.
One of the most powerful ways to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic across the continent of Africa is
education, which helps enable future generations develop skills to benefit their community and
themselves. Free The Children has built hundreds of schools in impoverished parts of the world,
funded by small donations from young people taking simple actions.
Free The Children has built more than 500 schools around the world and has reached more than
one million young people through outreach in North America. The primary goals of the organization
are to free children from poverty and exploitation and free young people from the notion that they
are powerless to affect positive change in the world. Through domestic empowerment programs and
leadership training, Free The Children inspires young people to develop as socially conscious global
citizens and become agents of change for their peers around the world.
OUR GOAL
To build 1 new school in Africa.
It costs just $8,500 to build a school, bringing new hope not only to the 100+ students who attend
school each day, but an entire community.

Provide Clean Water with a small donation to drill wells and make clean water available in Africa
by supporting Blood:Water Mission.
Many of the issues with HIV/AIDS and other diseases are closely linked to the lack of clean
drinking water. Many children will walk miles every day just to get access to clean water, if it is
even available. Blood:Water Mission has helped drill hundreds of clean water wells across the
continent of Africa.
Through the MMIF global mission program you can give a donation that will help drill a new well,
which in turn helps fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic and extreme poverty by fulfilling a vital need for
children and their communities, for a lifetime.
Blood:Water Mission
Blood:Water Mission is a non-profit organization founded by the members of the multi-platinum,
band, Jars of Clay, to address the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa. Blood:Water Mission exists to
promote clean blood and clean water efforts in Africa, tangibly reducing the impact of the
HIV/AIDS pandemic while addressing the underlying issues of poverty, injustice and oppression.
Blood:Water Mission is building clean water wells, supporting medical facilities, and focusing on
community and worldview transformation, both here in America and in Africa.
OUR GOAL
To drill 1 new well in Africa
A clean water well costs just $3,000 and will transform the health and life of a village. Women and
children will no longer spend their days walking long distances to get dirty water and suffering with
preventable diseases.
