The Global Fund: One Million Lives Saved Every Year

Since 2002, the Global Fund has saved more than 6.5 million lives, thanks to leadership from the U.S. and the global community. And we are on track to save over a million lives this year. The Global Fund works.

All of us can be proud of what we've done.

But we need to remain vigilant. There is still work to be done. We simply cannot win the war against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria without your vocal support and that of millions of people throughout the world.

Please voice your support, and share this video with your friends and family through this link: http://onemillion.theglobalfund.org/seethevideo
