OUR GENEROUS SUPPORTERS So, let’s DO THE MATH... ADD together our resources, DIVIDE our 2015 training expenses by all of our supporters — and new ones! Then we can MUTLIPLY the number of Malawians that we train, which will MULTIPLY the number of Malawians who are taught lifesaving lessons on HIV and AIDS awareness, prevention and care. And we will continue to SUBTRACT stigma, ignorance and death resulting from HIV and AIDS. Checks can be made payable to Malawi Matters and returned in the envelope provided.
