We are witnessing the power of the greatest pandemic, the greatest humanitarian crisis in history and it is coinciding, not by chance, with the greatest environmental crisis ever faced.
The Box of Hope is both a campaign and tool designed to involve students in the fight against HIV/AIDS, while also promoting empowerment and entrepreneurship. With the Box of Hope, students are able to support the Tsepong Clinic for HIV/AIDS in Leribe, Lesotho, and the women’s co-operative ININA Craft Agency in Eshowe, South Africa by promoting the signature red and white bracelets at their schools. Participating schools are also provided with additional materials to facilitate with their sales and fundraising efforts, while creating awareness and giving students an opportunity to be involved.
Ending HIV/AIDS ... One Bracelet at a Time.
The Bracelet of Hope and Box of Hope Campaign is a partnered initiative to raise $150 million to stop the transmission of HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, while supporting a group of entrepreneurs at a women’s cooperative in South Africa. Each purchase of a bracelet supports the Tsepong Clinic in Leribe, which provides integral healthcare and antiretroviral (ARV) treatment to thousands of those infected with HIV/AIDS in Lesotho. As well, the income from these handmade bracelets goes right back to the women of ININA Craft Agency, improving their lives and their families’ while also promoting empowerment.
