Dear President Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America
Please ask Congress for an extra $2 billion for The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Raising the United States of America’s donation to The Global Fund from $4 billion to $6 billion, over three years, is a fair donation for a wealthy, educated and philanthropic developed nation. The extra $2 billion being asked for, over a period of three years, will positively affect the health and well-being of millions of women and children.
Placing our humanitarian request in context: the extra $2 billion being asked for from Congress, over a three year period, is little different to the United States defense budget of $1.9 billion a day.
We are appealing to your leadership and compassion.
Thank you.
