Goal 6: Day 7

A photo of something you stand for:

I support many of the charities that provide treatment and care to people living with HIV/AIDS. The drugs exist to keep these kids alive yet they are still dying and it is easy to help. Donations can be small and make a huge difference and if you are too selfish or broke to give your money away buying RED allows you to buy the item you wanted and donate.
Keep a Child Alive, "a charity dedicated to providing life-saving anti-retroviral treatment, care and support services to children and their families with HIV/AIDS in Africa and the developing world". 
"(RED) money funds grants that go to HIV/AIDS programs in Ghana, Lesotho, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zambia. Over 7.5 million people have been impacted by (RED) supported Global Fund grants. (RED) is the largest business sector contributor to the Global Fund. To date, (RED) partners and events have contributed more than $160 million. 100% goes to programs on the ground - no overhead is taken by either (RED) or the Global Fund"
