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 entire 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.
