Provide Antiretroviral Treatment for HIV/AIDS

Your Help is Needed Now!

Many of the women and widows infected during the systemic rape campaign of the genocide are now facing their own deaths by this horrible disease. As ten years have passed from genocide, many of the women living with HIV and AIDS are dying ... leaving their children or adopted children to face the prospect of being orphaned again.

Your assistance is needed to help provide antiretroviral treatment to the widows in need. Please take a moment to donate now while you are at the computer. You can do so safely and quickly through Givenow.org, an organisation which is working with SURF to provide you the opportunity to support this urgent cause.

If you are interested in regular giving – which is VERY important with respect to antiretroviral treatment – please download the Bankers Order. After completing the form, please post it to SURF at:

Survivors Fund (SURF)
10 Rickett Street
West Brompton
London SW6 1RU

What Your Money Will Provide

SURF currently provides antiretroviral drugs to 14 widows and 8 children. SURF works with 8,600 widows who have tested positive, sadly nearly 2,800 have died from AIDS leaving children orphaned for the second time. We need your help to reach out to these women and orphans.

A gift of £500 or as little as £75 pounds a month will provide antiretroviral drugs (HIV medication) to a widow enabling her to look after her children. For example, a donor named Patricia set up a bankers' order with SURF in 2002. Her donation has enabled Uwayezu (a lone widow who had few days to live) access HIV antiretroviral medicine. Patricia has kindly given Uwayezu a new lease on life, which allowed Uwayezu is able to bring up her surviving children.
