African Well Fund Observes World AIDS Day With Virtual Candlelight Vigil

Schenectady NY – In observance of World AIDS day on Dec. 1, the African Well Fund is hosting a virtual candlelight vigil at our site. Please visit us at www.africanwellfund.org/candle.html to light a candle for those who have suffered from AIDS.

While the AWF’s mission is to provide access to clean water, we recognize the link between the need for safe water and the fight against HIV/AIDS. Persons with AIDS suffer from weakened immune systems, which makes them more at risk for contracting water-borne diseases and infections. Easy access to clean water is essential to those stricken with this terrible disease.

The African Well Fund would like to join the many and varied organizations throughout the world who are commemorating World AIDS day on Dec. 1st. World AIDS Day celebrates the progress made against the epidemic as well as focusing on the challenges that remain, and of course, honoring our fallen brothers and sisters.

Please consider making a donation to the African Well Fund to commemorate World AIDS day. Your donation can help give the gift of clean water to those battling AIDS. The African Well Fund, www.africanwellfund.org is a registered non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 2002. AWF believes that access to safe consumable water is not merely a basic human need but a basic human right. Donations to the African Well Fund are used by our partner Africare for their clean water projects in Africa. Africare is one of the leading private, non -profit charitable U.S. organizations assisting Africa. For more information please visit www.africare.org.

Wondering what to get for the "person who has everything" for
Christmas? How about a donation, in their name, to The African Well Fund.. :heart:
It would have to be thrilling for someone to know their Christmas present/donation will go a long way to helping people for the rest of their lives and their childrens, childrens lives.
At least that's my hope ...:heart:
 
The AWF is a wonderful organization comprised of people who really care about the future for African communities.

The AWF was started by average people - many of them U2 fans - who just wanted to find a tangible way to make a positive difference in the lives of African families.:yes:

This is a GREAT group which is making a great difference in the lives of thousands of African people for generations to come.

Please check them out and get involved!:wink:
 
:up: I really admire oktobergirl and the rest of the people behind the AWF. Their hard work has raised over $54,000 since inception in 2002. Talk about making a difference!

My favorite fundraiser is in early spring. It's to Help Build a Well for Bono's Birthday. Bono received a plaque commemorating the wells built in his honor. That is so cool! :cool:
