Nike Inc. and (RED) are working together to leverage the power of sport to fight HIV/AIDS. This is a unique partnership where (RED) and Nike have created a dual approach focusing on two initiatives : education and medication.
The concept is a simple one that invites people to “Lace Up. Save Lives” by purchasing a pair of Nike (RED) laces.
Profits from the sale of the (RED) products will be split equally between the King Baudouin Foundation and the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Global Fund provides medicine for those affected by HIV/AIDS.
The King Baudouin Foundation identifies and supports community based programmes in Africa that are using football to promote awareness around HIV/AIDS prevention. KBF was Nike's grant-giving partner for Nike's successful Stand Up Speak Up anti-racism campaign between 2005-2009.
The goal of this call for proposals is to support football-based programs that deliver education on HIV/AIDS with the aim of preventing more young people from contracting the disease and reducing the stigma which surrounds it. Grants will be open to all African based initiatives.
Special attention will be paid to applications that, either directly or indirectly, address girls as the most vulnerable segment of the population. We also value projects that are innovative, collaborative and focused.
The first call for projects was launched on December 3rd 2009. The selection was announced in June. Twenty-six projects from sixteen countries are already being funded.
