Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am very excited to be participating in the TCS Amsterdam Marathon on 19th October 2014 to raise money for Vodafone Foundation’s Moyo Lesotho challenge, which will help 41,000 children living with HIV/AIDS to access treatment through M-Pesa.

Please sponsor me by donating online or text LESO94 followed by £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 (you choose but max amount is £10) to 70070 and help me reach my target!

Moyo Lesotho is about getting a generation of young people living with HIV onto treatment. There are 41,000 children and young people under 16 living with HIV in Lesotho, and 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.

Working together with the Ministry of Health and other partners, Vodafone want to be able to put a generation of young people on ARVs by 2020.
