AIDS fund launched the Long Shall They Live garland this week. The colorful party garland with funny prints is designed by artist and fashion designer Bas Kosters. Get one to liven up your parties and save the life of a child with HIV in Africa at the same time.
Birthdays, swimming diplomas, passing the final exam: memorable moments of children are celebrated well in the Netherlands. And where there is celebration, there are streamers! With Aidsfonds and Bas Kosters’ long-will-she-live garland you can celebrate all the beautiful moments in your child’s life and save someone else’s. With the proceeds from 1 pendulum, Aidsfonds in Africa can find a child with HIV and ensure that it receives medication. Without HIV inhibitors, half of these children will not live to the age of two, while only 1 pill a day can prevent this.
Party garland with an important message
By purchasing the Long Shall They Live garland you help children with HIV grow old in a healthy way. The pendulum consists of a row of 16 cheerful figures. Bas Kosters chose African culture as inspiration, animals and birthdays. He then mixed this with his own distinct style. The designer is honored that he was allowed to use his creativity to contribute to education about HIV and the fight against AIDS.
Another birthday party for children with HIV
Worldwide there are 1.8 million children with HIV. Just 1 pill a day prevents a child from dying of AIDS. Yet almost half of the children with HIV do not receive life-saving medicines. Mainly because of poverty and a lack of information. Every six minutes, somewhere in the world, a parent loses their child to AIDS. They often live in remote areas. That is why health workers trained by Aidsfonds go to the villages to look for babies and children with HIV. The children are tested, given HIV inhibitors if necessary and the health workers ensure that they remain under treatment.
The party garland is available for € 14.95 on aidsfonds.nl/slinger and lasts a lifetime.
