"Over 30 million people live with HIV. Another 7,000 contract the illness each day and 5,000 die of AIDS
– often through lack of access to the simplest health messages."
Founded by our keynote speaker Dr Patrick Dixon in 1988, ACET is an internationally registered AIDS agency that seeks to reverse this trend by educating those most at risk of HIV infection, mainly in the poorest nations – countries such as Nigeria, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo.
With over 23 years experience of care in over 20 of the poorest nations, the good news is that prevention programmes are working. As teams of educators reach people every day in remote rural areas and in city slums, HIV infection rates are falling. Thanks to better access to treatment, people with HIV in the poorest nations are also living far longer.
A real need is better technology to promote health messages.
MediaMind is not making a charge for attendance to DED 2011, but we would like to invite every participant to make a donation to help stop AIDS in Africa.
A simple donation will help ACET:
Produce urgently needed printed resources and further train educators
Support a radio programme reaching 2 million people a week
Upgrade Internet connectivity and improve email access
Please join us. Together let's use Media to Stop AIDS.
Yes, I would like to make a voluntary donation to ACET to stop AIDS in Africa in lieu of DED 2011 seminar fee.
