The Orange Babies Foundation was established to help HIV infected women and their babies in Africa. Orange Babies also supports children infected with the virus or otherwise directly affected.
Also, Orange Babies wants to raise awareness of the HIV/AIDS problem in Africa not only in Holland, but preferably throughout Europe. Orange Babies raises money by organising creative events such as exhibitions, fashion shows, musical and sports events. Being a small organisation Orange Babies is of course aware of the immense magnitude of the problem. However, do nothing is not an option.
