Since January 2008, Chevron has contributed $30 million to The Global Fund, a public-private partnership created in 2002 to finance programs that fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Together, we have supported awareness, prevention, testing and treatment programs in Angola, Indonesia, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Africa and Thailand.
"These donations strengthen past and current initiatives with the two largest hospitals in Angola," said Eunice de Carvalho of Chevron in Angola. "Chevron also works with these hospitals on the deployment of the first program of diagnosis and treatment of sickle cell disease in Angola, a project valued at US$4 million and totally funded by Chevron."
