MISSION

• NextAid's mission is to promote
  community-driven, environmentally sustainable,
  economically and socially empowering responses to
  the African AIDS orphan pandemic.
• NextAid collaborates with individuals,
  businesses and nonprofits to produce creative,
  culturally-rich, awareness-raising projects and
  music events involving technology, the arts,
  public education projects, and volunteer
  opportunities. Through grass-roots efforts,
  NextAid provides opportunities for concerned
  individuals to make a tangible difference in the
  lives of African children in need.

THE FACTS (AN ORPHAN PANDEMIC)

• Every 14 seconds a child loses a parent to AIDS
• Only 10 of the 12.3 Million of children orphaned
  by AIDS are receiving public services
• There are more AIDS orphans in Africa than
  children under the age of 5 in the U.S.
• Child-headed household is an official
  population category in South Africa

WHY HELP AFRICA?

• The consumption patterns of industrialized
  countries directly contribute to the scarcity of
  resources in Africa
• The world benefits from the wealth of resources
  including oil, diamonds, plutonium, minerals for
  our cell phones
• Africa is the only continent going backwards in
  most areas of development. Indicators such as
  life expectancy, infant mortality rates, GNP, and
  literacy rates show Sub-Saharan Africa stagnating
  or declining while the rest of the world is
  advancing
• It is the birthplace of the human race
• The instability of Africa caused by AIDS is
  creating a threat to global security
• Children rights are being violated in epidemic
  proportions

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

• Empowering grass-roots organizations on the
  ground, with a special focus on women and girls
• Developing community-driven initiatives
• Supporting business enterprise which leads to
  self-reliance, sustainability and prosperity
• Building a movement of solidarity for children
  with like-minded organizations and individuals
• Creating opportunities to experience tangible
  change
• Replicating best practices and models for orphan
  care and sustainable development
• Developing strategic partnerships

WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?

• Sustainable Development is a strategy of serving
  human needs while supporting the ecological
  foundation upon which all things rely.
• By fostering solutions rooted in sustainable
  development, NextAid supports ecologically sound
  growth, while balancing social and economic
  needs.

THE NEXUS BECAUSE THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN
WHAT WE DO, HOW WE CHOOSE TO LIVE OUR LIVES, AND
THE FORTUNES OR MISFORTUNES OF OTHERS AROUND THE
WORLD.
