THERE IS HOPE
In recent years there has been accumulated knowledge on remedies that work and what does not work, so despite these depressing figures we are not without hope.

With your help, Support For Africa 2000 aims to help Nigeria with that pivotal leadership role with the aim of reversing the AIDS epidemic.

The role of the charity is to raise much needed funds to buy, deliver and apply remedies that have been known to work in preventing and tackling the spread of AIDS and the threat of MALARIA through the supply of drugs, education, information and training.
