CHIVA Africa - Phantom Dinner · 30 November 2011 ·

CHIVA Africa is working at the frontline to ensure that no child is born with HIV and no child dies from a treatable condition. In communities where we serve, many pregnant women are living with HIV — but with early diagnosis and treatment, transmission to their babies can be prevented. We support healthcare workers to identify mothers early, start treatment, and protect every child before birth. For babies born with HIV, time is critical. We help clinics find these infants quickly, start lifesaving treatment, and ensure they receive the care they need to survive and thrive. We also support children living with HIV and their caregivers, providing both clinical guidance and emotional support so that every child can grow up healthy and strong. Using real-time health data, we identify children at risk and ensure no one is left behind. Beyond treatment, we empower young people through prevention programmes that give them knowledge, confidence, and hope. Every mother supported is a child protected. Every child reached is a life saved.

So far this year, we have more than 100 volunteers standing by, committed to at least 50 working weeks. <strong>All donations go directly to covering their flight and accommodation costs. </strong></span></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We've made great progress so far. But there's an enormous amount still to do. And we really need to move fast. With the help of donations from supporters such as you, we will continue to save the lives of the youngest victims of the AIDS epidemic.</span></span></span></div> <div><span style="color: #00ccff;"> <div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> <span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;50<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Taxis <span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>The price of maps and mobile phones for 1 team for 1 week<span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;75<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Babysitter<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The cost of teaching materials for one team for one week</span></span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&pound;100 <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Hair/nails <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The cost of food for one team for one week <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;150<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Clothes <span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>The cost of car hire for one team for one week </span></span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;300<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Dinner <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The cost of accommodation for one volunteer for one week</span></span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;565<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>big night out<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The costs for one volunteer flight for one week</span></span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">&pound;1200<span style="mso-tab-count: 3;"> </span>Full cost for one volunteer for one week</span></span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&pound;5000<span style="mso-tab-count: 3;"> </span>Cost of one full team for one week</span></span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span></span></span> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></span></div> </span></div> <div><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>CHIVA Africa sends volunteer teams of doctors, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists and psychologists to South Africa to provide mentoring and training to local healthcare professionals.
