aids is a serious problem. In Sub-Saharan Africa someone dies from it every 16 seconds. Getting condoms to Africa is one of the simplest ways of tackling this issue. For my campaign, I want every company and organisation that distributes products to Africa to take condoms along with them. This huge scale distribution could help reduce infection rates and save lives.
