Hope. Mercy. Compassion. 25 million lives saved – and counting
This Saturday marks 20 years since President George W. Bush signed the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief into law. In the two decades since, PEPFAR has saved 25 million lives, prevented 5.5 million babies from acquiring HIV, and helped create critical health infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
Bush Institute Executive Director David J. Kramer <[link removed]> reflects on the vital importance of the program:
“Today, we thank the American taxpayers for an incredible act of mercy and compassion. Thank you for recognizing that every life has dignity and value and that America is at its best when we remember that to whom much is given, much is required. The world is a safer and better place when America confronts suffering and hopelessness. It strengthens our security, and it brings together governments, corporations, NGOs, and faith-based organizations to work toward a common cause – saving lives.”
