Get to Zero. Get to $5,000.

Join us as we celebrate 
OHR's fourth World AIDS Day with 
our December "Get to Zero. Get to $5,000" campaign!

Join us in celebrating four notable dates in honor of four ground-breaking OHR programs. Help us get to zero new AIDS-related deaths, zero new HIV infections, and zero discrimination. Help us get to $5,000 and donate by January 1st.

December 1st    World AIDS Day, 2011: Ekialo Kiona Cyber-VCT
December 10th International Human Rights Day: Ekialo Kiona Youth Radio
December 12th Kenyan Independence Day: Aquaponics Pilot Program
December 20th    International Human Solidarity Day: Microclinic Pilot Program

This year, the Organic Health Response has worked to implement a new farming irrigation system, install 10 additional low-power computers, send 5 Sisterhood Exchange Program shipments abroad, officially completed construction of the Ekialo Kiona Center and so much more. This is no small feat, and this December we hope to end a successful year with momentum. 

By participating in OHR's end-of-year "Get to Zero. Get to $5,000" campaign, you are joining our dedicated team in ending the cycle of poverty, disease, and isolation, beginning in one of the world's most HIV-affected regions.



December 20th:  

International Human Solidarity DAY 



International Human Solidarity Day reminds us of the importance of solidarity in working towards eradicating poverty & disease all over the world. Strong social support significantly increases a sick individual's chance of survival. Help us Get to Zero AIDS-related deaths. Help us Get to $5,000.


GET THE FACTS:
 
  • Risk of HIV affects everyone. When one person is sick, households experience:
    •  Reduced productivity 
    • Economic hardship 
    • Food insecurity 
    • Burden of orphaned children 
    • High medical fees 
  • Most Lake Victoria residents feel they have little to no support when it comes to school & medical fees, or making sure there is enough food on the table.
