The Purpose of the auction

The Art of Being Human Foundation gives a '100% giver's guarantee'. This means that if a donation or pledge is made for a specific cause we give 100% of that donation or pledge to that specific cause. We do not take out any administration fees (operating costs) from'specific donations'. However we do have operating costs that need to be met and therefore we have taken the approach of raising funds specifically for The Art of Being Humane that will cover these costs. We do this in three ways; having annual fundraising activities, inviting companies to pledge support (monitory/goods/services) and through social enterprise initiatives where we create merchandise that we sell. ***The bachelor auction is one of our annual fundraising events.***

Born HIV Free Campaign with the Global Fund

Below is a moving video that shows the scale of the problem and 
the hope for the next generation through the work of the Global Fund.

The Art of Being Humane Foundation has been supporting and working with an economically deprived HIV positive lady called Mwema who was pregnant when we met her. Here is her story. 

Our aim 

Subject to funding which we are still sourcing, we aim to turn Mwema story into a documentary as this is the story of many underprivileged HIV positive women living in Zimbabwe who in theory have access to the ARV therapy to protect their children from contracting HIV at birth BUT in practice there is a barrier to getting this ARV Therapy, a US$30 registration fee to the maternity clinic - The rule is -- Only registered women can access the FREE ARV Therapy to protect their baby for HIV regardless of their economic positioning.
