Stop the #1 Killer of African Children

Sponsor: William J. Clinton Foundation
Malaria is the single greatest killer of children in Africa. And even though this disease is completely curable, one to three million children will still die, because for many families in developing countries, effective treatments and preventative bed nets are too expensive. Last year, the Clinton Foundation launched a pilot subsidy program in Tanzania--the country with the highest rate of deaths from malaria in southern Africa--to make safe, effective malaria treatment available to those who couldn't normally afford treatment. The initial findings of the pilot showed a drop in price from $10 to $0.50 in pilot areas--a 95 percent decrease. But they can't do this alone. Please support President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation in their goal to increase access to affordable ACTs to people around the world.

Lead With Your Heart

Sponsored by: William J. Clinton Foundation

Too many children die before their time—40 children die of AIDS every hour. President Clinton's visit to Africa is an important opportunity to save lives that need not be lost. For example, President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have already negotiated a 90 percent reduction in the cost of pediatric medicines!

In 2007 the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative's pediatric program, in partnership with UNITAID, helped double the number of children on treatment in 33 countries. That means two out of every three children globally receiving treatment for HIV/AIDS is supported by the Clinton Foundation's program.

That's what it means to lead with your heart—doing what you can to build a bright, healthy future for children who would've otherwise suffered or even died. In keeping with this spirit, stand together with President Clinton and pledge your support. Help make the next generation the first generation free of AIDS.
