Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, any donation is greatly appreciated.
Moyo Lesotho is about using mobile technology to change lives, by getting a generation of young people living with HIV onto treatment. By using mobile technology, more children will receive life-saving treatment far faster. There are 41,000 HIV positive children in Lesotho but only 5,000 of them currently receive treatment. I am cycling the length of Britain to get all 36,000 children the life-saving treatment they need. Very few children will survive beyond their fifth birthday if they do not receive this treatment and many of these children live in rural areas.The funds I raise will also be used to provide safe deliveries for mothers, preventing maternal death and the transmission of HIV from mothers to babies.
Every pound I raise will be put to work, changing lives and it will reach more people far faster because of mobile technology.
Transport: travel funds will be sent via mobile money, so children and expectant mothers can travel to treatment - this costs just £20
Testing: results will be sent via mobile speeding up both diagnosis and treatment -just £50 will pay for a mobile enabled paediatric HIV test including the transport of the blood sample
Treatment: mobile clinics via mobile will enable nurses to be connected, and more young people and mothers to be reached.
