Christy Turlington and RED

Christy Turlington and (RED)

Activist and model Christy Turlington, an ambassador for (RED), recently visited with mothers and children benefitting from money flowing into Swaziland, Africa to address the AIDS and HIV epidemic. The bulk of the funds coming from Product (RED) purchases is spent on making anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs (the two pills a day it takes to keep someone with HIV alive) free to those who need them. More than 70 percent of the country lives on less than $1 a day, according to the organization.
