Perspective

What can the Global Fund provide in Africa with the $4,750 that it will receive from Hallmark? This amount can cover the cost of antiretroviral treatment for one year for 20 people living with HIV; provide 450 rapid tests to detect HIV and deliver instant test results; cover the cost of 2,083 single-dose nevirapine treatments to prevent the transmission of HIV from mother to child; and provide a year's worth of school materials and daily hot meals for 10 children orphaned by AIDS.
