AHOPE for Children announces its first annual Text2Give campaign to benefit the 20 million children orphaned by AIDS

March 25, 2010- AHOPE for Children announces its first annual Text2Give campaign to benefit the over 20 million children orphaned by AIDS. The mobile giving campaign takes effect today and culminates on World AIDS Orphans Day, May 7, 2010.

The world’s most vulnerable and neglected child is an HIV positive orphan. To date, 2.2 million of the 20 million AIDS orphans are themselves HIV positive. Each year, 300,000 children die of the disease. Another crushing statistic: 500,000 children were infected with HIV this year alone – that’s about 300 children since you got up this morning.

AHOPE for Children is a non-profit dedicated to serving children in Ethiopia, with a primary focus on orphans infected with HIV. AHOPE for Children provides these children with a safe and loving home environment, literacy and basic education, life-saving medications, and the necessary tools to live a healthy and fully realized life. Because of AHOPE for Children, these children have a chance at a fulfilled life and, more importantly, they believe their lives are valuable and they can contribute something significant to our world.

With your help, we can raise $100,000 by May 7th and change these children’s lives. It can be done. So far, the lives of hundreds of children have been saved. On May 7th, we will begin our work on 2,000,000 more.

You only need a mobile phone and a plan with a major carrier to instantly become a donor and provide relief to the AIDS orphans. To give, text “AHOPE” in the message box to “85944”. You will receive a message asking you to confirm. Make sure you respond by typing “YES” or your donation cannot be processed. Your carrier will add the $10 on to your next phone bill.
