\u201cAfrica knows the cost of neglect. We buried millions while the world delayed. To cut AIDS funding now is to choose profit over people again.\u201d

Sibulele Sibaca Nomnganga (Sibu) was just a young child at the height of South Africa\u2019s AIDS epidemic. Too young to understand that the disease was claiming the lives of her mother, father, aunt, and uncle. She did know one thing with certainty: their medicine mattered. Each day, she carefully laid out her father\u2019s pills, making sure he took every dose \u2013 a quiet act of love and responsibility far beyond her years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her parents eventually died from AIDS, Sibu\u2019s role as a caregiver continued. She turned her attention to raising her younger brother. In the face of loss, something powerful ignited within her \u2013 a fierce determination to protect others from experiencing the same pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ask:<\/strong> With rising global health threats and widening inequalities, we urge Canada to continue to champion the Global Fund and build on our current level of strong support ($1.21 billion over 3 years) to help #WinTheFight against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sibu\u2019s story is one of millions. As of 2023, an estimated 14.1 million<\/a> children around the world have lost one or both parents to AIDS-related causes. Today, Sibu is using her voice to make sure their stories are heard and to call for renewed global leadership to finally defeat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) \u2013 the virus that causes AIDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sibu credits her survival to the global scale-up of HIV prevention and treatment, made possible in large part by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria<\/a>. Knowing that she is one of the more than 65 million lives saved since the Global Fund\u2019s inception in 2002 fuels her hope and purpose. In countries where the Global Fund invests, AIDS-related deaths have dropped by 73%, and new infections by 61% since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is tremendous progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
