Survivors Fund announce success of Christmas appeal
Howard Lake | 19 January 2005 | News
The Rwandan Survivors Fund (SURF)’s Christmas campaign, “One Month to Save the Life of One Woman”, has raised over £6,000. This is enough money to provide anti-retroviral
treatment for one HIV+ Rwandan woman for the next ten years.
The campaign, which asked supports to donate just £5, received donations from over 1000 people.
The Director of SURF, Mary Kayitesi-Blewitt, expressed her gratitude: “The support that we have received for this campaign, and throughout our Ten
Years On commemoration, has been incredible. In light of the recent Tsunami
disaster, it is even more amazing that we have raised so much.”
