UNICEF and British Airways yesterday announced a donation of Sterling pounds 900,000 to support children affected by HIV/Aids in three countries including Tanzania.
The money was jointly raised through `Change for Good,` the fundraising partnership between British Airways and the United Nation`s Children`s Fund (UNICEF).
British Airways Commercial Manager in Tanzania, Saada Juma said in a statement yesterday that this is the first time that ``Change for Good`` money would go towards UNICEF`s `Unite for Children Unite against AIDS\' global campaign.
Saada said the first funding would be used to help families and communities support and care for children affected by HIV.
Out of the pounds 900,000, at least 300,000 pounds would go towards providing care for children affected by the disease in Tanzania and will support programmes for children affected by the disease.
According to the statement, other countries whose children would benefit from the campaign are Ukraine and Ghana.
The funding would reduce the number of children who live in these institutions by encouraging foster families to care for them, the statement further said.
It would also help to improve the environment for children with no foster families to grow.
For his part, Rob Webb, British Airways` General Counsel, said: ``British Airways realizes how crucial the issue of HIV is and I am delighted that the `Change for Good` donations will support children affected by this devastating disease.``
British Airways and UNICEF launched `Change for Good` in April 1994 to raise money for some of the world`s most needy children.
Over the past 13 years, `Change for Good` has raised over pounds 23 million for UNICEF work in over 50 countries.

Well, on July 6th I had a meeting with a Red Cross representative and was told that I had HIV. “What went through your mind when you heard that "Rose" Good question reader! To be honest, I thought my life was over, that I would ever find love, get married, have children or anything normal. Lucky for me I have an amazing support system. My family supported me then I never thought that I was invincible to STD s or pregnancy or anything else parents warn their kids about. I just didn’t think about it. I was in a monogamous relationship and thought that I asked the right questions. We even talked about marriage Scary. During that time I was in college and donated blood on a re as well. who helped me in search of cure through the media.there we saw a good testimony of sister 'Kate' about the good work of Dr Akhigbe natural herbal medicine cure.then I copied his email address and contacted him. A good herbalist doctor with a good heart, he is kind, loving and caring. He replied back to my message and told me what to do. After a week the doctor sent me my herbal medicine and instructed me how to take it.Yes it worked very well, after drinking it I went to the hospital for another test and everything turned negative. What a wonderful testimony I can never forget in my life.
