The Good Cents Initiative
Keep a Child Alive has launched of an innovative new program called 'The Good Cents Initiative.' They are partnering with businesses to help raise millions of dollars for the Keep a Child Alive mission.For 'The Good Sense Initiative' they are asking companies to add one cent for Keep a Child Alive. That one cent maybe on the receipt for a cup of coffee, or a penny added to the price of a cd. It's about really small amounts that quickly add up to make a huge difference.
'The Good Cents Initiative' is designed to have very little cost to companies and a tiny cost to their customers. But it will generate enough money to provide millions of children in Africa and India with lifesaving AIDS medication, support services, and orphan care.
Remember less than a dollar a day keeps a child alive.
