  1. It is the mission of Last Chance for Africa to bring an end to the inhumanity of child and infant rape in Sub-Saharan Africa and, through nutrition, education and provision, save a dying generation.

  2. Who are we? Last Chance for Africa Foundation is a group of passionate humanitarians and dedicated volunteers committed to raising money for the benefit of orphans and AIDS victims in Sub-Saharan Africa. We seek strategic partnerships with innovative companies and entrepreneurs interested in bringing nutritional solutions and sustainable programs to this region.

  3. Grassroots goes Global… • Last Chance Productions, an established production company that creates and showcases television series and feature films in Hollywood California … • Teaming up with strategic partners like Brady Mazzola’s Watering Seeds Organization, that assists physically challenged individuals, and Molly Bedingfield’s Global Angels Foundation, an international children’s charity • Fueled by volunteers, donors and sponsors like YOU!

  4. The Problem. . . • Sub-Saharan Africa has just over 10% of the world’s population, but is home to more than 60% of all people living with HIV: over 25 million. • Two-thirds of all AIDS deaths worldwide happen in this region. • Orphans in Africa are by tradition absorbed into extended family networks. With the advent of AIDS, however, the orphans have to fend for themselves. • Children have become heads of households and have no access to school, nutritious food or health care.

  5. The Picture. . . In the last four years, it has gotten worse….

  6. The Facts. . . • There are over one million orphaned children in Zimbabwe, which currently has the most depressed economy in the world with inflation at over 1,700% • ~ World Health Organization  • The life expectancy in Zimbabwe as of 2006 was 37 for men and 34 for women. More than four times as many girls are infected as boys. • ~ UNAIDS Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic 2006 • “Witch doctors have spread the idea that if you have sex with a virgin, you can cure yourself of AIDS." • ~ Professor Heinz Rode, Red Cross Children's Hospital, Cape Town, BBC News, 10/14/2002

  7. Suffer the Children . . . This widespread tribal myth has spawned a tragic epidemic of child and baby RAPE. ~“AIDS: a South African Horror Story,” Alan Little, BBC News, October 14, 2002 “Therehave been 21,000 cases of child rape or assault reported [in South Africa] in the past year . . . this myth is firmly entrenched. . . one is a nine-month-old baby who has already undergone extensive surgery.” ~“Aids myth drives South African baby-rape crisis,” Chris McGreal, Johannesburg,11/03/01, The Guardian.

  8. We want to be part of the Solution! • LCFA is organizing and hosting an exclusive celebrity charity fundraiser on June 3, 2007 in Hollywood, California. • Event proceeds will be distributed to two well-known and reputable 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. • These two charities have been selected for their outstanding commitment to dedicating all donated funds to orphans and victims of AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa.
