Clinton Foundation
April 17, 2005 ( politics )
Former US President Bill Clinton's foundation is to spend an additional $10m to fight Aids among children in the developing world, he has announced.The foundation aims to provide Aids-suppressing drugs to 10,000 children in countries from China to Africa and the Caribbean.
"These children need hope," the former president said, launching the drive.
He said children accounted for one in six Aids deaths worldwide, but only one in 30 receiving treatment was a child.
He said Cipla, an Indian-based company that makes anti-retroviral drugs for children, had agreed to provide medication at less than half the market price.

Hey, maybe Clinton can be up there with Carter as a great ex-president if he keeps on this line of work...
