COLOGNE, Germany, March 11, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
The GOALS for SOUTH
AFRICA campaign, a global effort to raise awareness and money for the fight
against HIV/AIDS in South Africa and the rest of the world, is teaming up
with German medical aid organization action medeor. As part of the
cooperative effort, the GOALS for SOUTH AFRICA campaign is issuing an appeal
for assistance for the medeor project in the South African township of
Masiphumelele. The project gives a home and family life to AIDS orphans and
provides them with the medical and psychological assistance they need.

2009 with the objective of capitalizing on the media attention paid to the
Soccer World Cup 2010 to increase global awareness of the problem of HIV/AIDS
in South Africa and the rest of the world. In addition the campaign wants to
raise as much money as possible in donations, and use the money to fund
educational projects designed to stem the spread of the disease. The campaign
will kick off in April 2010.
action medeor was established in 1964 to provide basic drugs and medical
equipment to people in developing countries. medeor is also involved in
fighting the poverty-related and tropical diseases HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and
malaria. action medeor supports around 10.000 healthcare centres,
particularly small facilities, in 140 countries. action medeor sends drugs
and medical equipment to developing countries, either at cost price or as
donations.
