Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for the Amsterdam Half marathon
A 100
Vodafone employees from around the World will be taking part in the Amsterdam
Marathon on October 19th 2014 to raise
funds for the Vodafone Foundation Moyo Lesotho
Challenge
Would be great if you could support me in raising money for Moyo Lesotho. All
the money raised will go towards helping 41.000 children living with HIV/AIDS
in Lesotho, a poor country in the middle of South Africa.
Moyo Lesotho is about getting a generation of young people living with HIV onto treatment. We know that of 41,000 children and young people under 16 living with HIV in Lesotho, as many as 36,000 are not on ARVs. By raising money and using mobile technology, we can get more children tested and on treatment faster.
The funds raised will be used
to provide:
Transport: travel funds will
be sent via mobile money, so children can travel to receive life-saving
treatment
Testing: results will be sent via mobile getting children diagnosed and on treatment more quickly
Treatment: sending mobile clinics to rural areas and connecting them via mobile will bring life-saving care further and faster than ever before.
