Dec 1-28: Party With a Purpose: 20 NextAid Parties: 15 U.S. Cities
What can YOU do to support World AIDS Day and the 15 million AIDS orphans?? Party with a purpose! Party with NextAid to provide shelter and care for orphans in Africa. Join DJs Miguel Migs, Marques Wyatt, DJ Dan, Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, Roy Davis Jr., M3, J-Boogie, Solar, and many more at 20 NextAid dance parties across the country this December.
Globally, an estimated 33 million people are living with HIV, with nearly 7500 new infections each day. Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 15 million children under 18 have been orphaned as a result of AIDS. Around 11.6 million of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa.
NextAid is a Los Angeles-based humanitarian organization rooted in the dance music community, whose mission is to promote community-driven environmentally, economically and socially empowering responses to the AIDS orphan pandemic.
We are building the NextAid Youth with a Vision Community Center and Children’s Residential Village in Dennilton, an impoverished and AIDS affected community in rural South Africa. The center will not only provide much needed shelter and care for 50 children but will also provide for hundreds of other children, teens and adults in the community with after school programs and economic enterprise opportunities.
Check out our website for more information on how you can make a difference! Go to www.nextaid.org or email us at info@nextaid.org.
