One to One Children’s Fund

One to One Children’s Fund relieves the suffering of children who are innocent victims of poverty, disease and conflict.  One to One Children’s Fund remedies and prevents the adverse impact of HIV/AIDS and trauma on children, working hand in hand with communities to develop and implement projects which can be scaled and replicated. By delivering sustainable projects and empowering local people, One to One Children’s Fund succeeds in rebuilding lives.

One to One Children’s Fund changes precious lives in Africa with our Paediatric HIV programmes, where the organisation began by treating one child and the programmes that followed are now helping to save tens of thousands of children’s lives.

Tangible benefits of the Expert Patient Programme include:

·        increased capacity of clinics

·        improved efficiency

·        more child-friendly services

·        more accessible services

·        greater adherence to Anti-retroviral treatment

·        reduction of stigma and discriminatory attitudes toward HIV/AIDS patients

One to One Children’s Fund received a grant of £6,887.50 on 10 March 2010 from TFN following a TFN event on 27 January 2010.

Since receiving TFN funding, One to One Children’s Fund’s objectives have remained the same but in 2010, its programmes have focused mostly on HIV/AIDS work in sub-Saharan Africa and work with vulnerable children in Kosovo. One to One Children’s Fund was able to extend and expand its Expert Patient programme thanks to TFN funding and from other sources.

With the funding received from TFN in March 2010, One to One Children’s Fund was able to fund 10 Expert Patients for one year working in 3 clinics that were only able to join the programme as a result of the TFN funding.
