Medical Action Myanmar

AIDS Ark enables HAART medication and full medical care for 85 people with HIV in urgent need through Medical Action Myanmar’s Hlaingthayar clinic.

They assist some of the poorest people in Burma.

FXB India

Posted on 22 Mar 2012 in featured project

HIV+ Burmese refugees in Manipur state, India, on the border with Myanmar, are in urgent need of HAART treatment.

As refugees, they are not eligible for free care at the Indian Government clinics.

AIDS Ark provides a grant to FXB India to provide HIV medication and care for 63 beneficiaries currently. We are particularly keen to scale up our support for this project.

The name AIDS Ark was inspired by the book, Schindler’s Ark, itself a reference to the biblical story of Noah’s Ark and a work subsequently produced as the film, Schindler's List.

The real-life Oskar Schindler saved over 1000 Jewish people from the Nazi death camps. He saved as many as he could afford with bribes to German officials.

AIDS Ark cannot save the whole world from AIDS but we can save some, and as Schindler said, “To save one soul is to save the world entire”.

We all should do whatever we can.
