Mission

The Mission of the "One Million African Lives Initiative" is to save 1 million lives over the next 5 years by preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS through blood transfusions and increase the safe blood supply. We are doing this by partnering with Safe Blood for Africa which provides testing kits that allow African healthcare professionals to test blood to ensure it is safe before using it in a blood transfusion.

The problem: Millions of innocent women, children and men are contracting HIV/AIDS and other infections diseases through simple blood transfusions. Without testing there is no way to ensure that any blood transfusion whether received by a mother hemorrhaging during childbirth or a child being treated for anemia is free of HIV and other infectious diseases.
