$25 can save a life
Every day 4500 people die from tuberculosis; that's 1.7 million a year. TB is also the biggest killer of people living with HIV, accounting for one in four AIDS-related deaths.
TB is curable, but we need to get more people tested and provided with the right medicines. Research shows that just by scaling up methods that are already available we can save a million lives among people living with HIV by 2015.
The Stop TB Partnership believes that all people who need TB care should have it. No matter who they are or where they live. Through our Global Drug Facility we provide drugs to TB programmes at the lowest possible cost. Through our TB REACH programme we are finding and treating people with TB in the poorest, most vulnerable communities in the world.
Donate now to prevent unnecessary TB deaths.
$25 buys:
- A full course of medicines for a TB cure in many countries
- A lifesaving treatment that protects people living with HIV from TB

How inmates are reducing the impact of TB and HIV in Zambian prisons
In Zambia, a project supported by TB REACH is showing how simple methods such as TB screening and HIV testing can prevent infections and save lives. Prisoners are tested for both diseases on entry and exit, and at mass screening sessions that inmates themselves help organize. The project is run by the Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ) and uses a hi-tech mobile lab to test hundreds of inmates in a single day. Thanks to TB REACH funding the Zambia prisons service now has the opportunity to be a regional model for TB control and HIV detection.
