The new global online database will:
-- increase attention to the plight and needs of HIV impacted children, highlight the vibrant and successful grassroots responses to children's needs already underway,
-- link organizations and facilitate networking and collaboration, and
-- connect grassroots programs with potential donors who can provide financial, in-kind, and technical support.
"We all know about the incredible needs of children impacted by HIV/AIDS around the world," said Suzi Peel, CEO of The Pendulum Project. "Our hope is that this project will help support the amazing work of dedicated individuals and communities who are working tirelessly to meet those needs."
The database will be accessible through both collaborating organization websites: http://www.pendulumproject.org and http://www.childrensaidsfund.org. Listings will include a brief program description, contact information, activity location, services offered, and areas of potential support.
"This project is an important step toward building the capacity of grassroots care providers around the world, through visibility, networking, and support," commented Anita Smith, Children's AIDS Fund President.
The Pendulum Project is a non-profit humanitarian organization whose mission is to improve the lives of children by linking donors with community-based HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support activities around the world.
