Bono announces Aids-funding programme
Rock star and activist Bono today unveiled a new push to fight HIV and Aids in Africa, unveiling a partnership with several companies to offer red-themed products, proceeds of which will go toward funding anti-Aids programmes.
Dressed in a denim jacket and sporting his trademark wraparound sunglasses, tinted magenta, he said the programme would help the global fund to fight Aids, tuberculosis and malaria by raising more money for its programmes.
