HOW
YOU CAN HELP
As
a not-for-profit organization, we depend upon the generosity of
others to help supplement the limited government funding that we
receive.
Your tax deductible
donation will help BEBASHI to fight the spread of sexually transmitted
diseases, including HIV/AIDS and to help provide assistance to those
who have become infected or affected.
Join us in
the fight to serve the sexual health needs of the urban community
through education, research, technical assistance, and advocacy.
Your support is essential….just take a look at the startling
statistics below:
The cumulative
number of AIDS cases reported in the US totals 816,149
8000 people
die everyday from AIDS
9,074 AIDS
cases were reported in children under age 13
Pennsylvania
is currently the 6th highest state with the most reported cases
of HIV/AIDS
In the United
States, African Americans make up only 12 % of the population,
but account for half of the new HIV infections reported…
8,000 people
die everyday from AIDS
In Philadelphia
alone it is estimated that 16,000 people have AIDS…
Your tax-deductible
donation, no matter how small, will make a difference:

12 condoms to prevent the spread of HIV and other sexually
transmitted infections (STI’S);

BEBASHI has
been on the front lines of the war against the spread of HIV since
1985. Last year, we provided outreach, prevention education programs;
counseling and testing for HIV, as well as other sexually transmitted
infections and pregnancy; case management, housing assistance, support
groups and emergency food to 15,000 people. Your tax-deductible
donation will help us to serve even more.
Your tax-deductible

of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, and to help
provide assistance to those who have become infected or affected.
