The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the recipient of all (RED) funds, announced on Monday that 97 countries have asked for $6.4 billion in grants this year – a nearly threefold increase.
This is an encouraging sign that many low-income countries are preparing to ramp up their programs to battle AIDS, TB and malaria, and that the number of lives saved with The Global Fund’s help, approximately 2.5 million, will continue to rise.
(RED) products have raised over $110 million for The Global Fund’s efforts to fight AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.

I was really excited to see this news from the Global Fund because this news shows the confidence that countries have in the efficiency and the productivity of the Global Fund.
Like your post states:
"This is an encouraging sign that many low-income countries are preparing to ramp up their programs to battle AIDS, TB and malaria, and that the number of lives saved with The Global Fund’s help, approximately 2.5 million, will continue to rise."
Exactly!
Now it is up to us to continue our support of (RED) and to bring more people over to (RED) so that the Global Fund can continue to help more people around the world in their fight against AIDS, TB and Malaria.
I, AS ONE, will continue in my support of (RED) and commit to continue to spread the news about (RED) to others so that our movement to end AIDS and extreme poverty can continue to grow and produce measurable results for the world's poorest people.
THANK YOU,(RED),for being. We're glad that you're around.
LIVING POSITIVELY....and ALWAYS (RED) AT HEART, debbie :)
