BENIN: AIDS Foundation launches fund-raising campaign

Integrated Regional Information Networks - August 28, 2000

ABIDJAN, 28 August (IRIN) - The Benin AIDS Foundation has launched a campaign aimed at raising money to help people living with HIV, PANA reported. The money collected through the campaign, during which people are being asked to donate coins, will go toward paying for basic drugs to treat opportunistic diseases, promote social and professional reintegration and assist widows, widowers and orphans, PANA said on Wednesday. "It is a campaign to mobilise national savings to actually take care of infected persons or victims of the pandemic," foundation member Albin Feliho was quoted as saying.
