Stopping sexual violence key to help slow AIDS epidemic: Activist May 10, 2013
Jonathan Migneault, Sudbury StarThe Stephen Lewis Foundation is proud to be one of the charities supported by the Aeroplan Beyond Miles programme. Through Beyond Miles, Aeroplan members are able to donate their unused reward miles to the Foundation. In keeping with their environmental programme Green It Up, Aeroplan has committed to fully offset carbon emissions from all our flights taken using donated miles.
To date, Aeroplan and its members have contributed more than 40 million miles to the Stephen Lewis Foundation! Since 2006, we have used donated miles to support work in 15 African countries. Donated miles have enabled us to bring the voices of African grandmothers and grassroots leaders to the forefront, create partnerships through our mentorship programme, send our field representatives to see the projects firsthand, and bring together community workers to share strategies and experiences with psychosocial counselling, orphan care and home-based health care. Thank you so much for making this possible!
