MAC AIDS Fund Bolsters HIV Care and Prevention

A new grant program from the MAC AIDS Fund has gifted $2.5 million to fight HIV and AIDS in South Africa. The grant will go to UNICEF South Africa and Nurturing Orphans of AIDS for Humanity (NOAH) to fund testing and treatment for pregnant women and strengthen the community infrastructure to care for children orphaned by AIDS. More than 280,000 children in South Africa are living with the disease and 1.4 million have lost one or both parents. The $2.5 million was raised $14 at a time, across 16 countries, when MAC Cosmetics customers purchased Viva Glam lipsticks and lipglasses. The entire sale price of the products is directed to
the MAC AIDS Fund.
