Neema’s Fight: An HIV Peer Educator Lights a Fuse for Girls in Her Community
Neema Waziri is fighting for what counts – defeating HIV, and empowering adolescent girls and young women to protect their health.
As a single mother and peer educator in Dodoma, Tanzania, Neema has lit a fuse in her community, galvanizing young women with the knowledge and agency to protect their health, prevent unintended pregnancy and pursue their education and dreams.
“I love what I do. These girls I work with have gained confidence… Together, we have prevented many [HIV] infections.”
Every week, around the world, 4,900 young women aged 15–24 years become infected with HIV. Young girls and women in east and southern Africa are disproportionately affected.

Asad’s Fight – Surviving Tuberculosis Under the Threat of COVID-19
Mohammed Asad Mia is fighting for what counts – defeating tuberculosis, supporting his family and growing his business - all under the threat of COVID-19.
Despite the devastating impact COVID-19 has had on the fight against TB globally, Bangladesh’s National TB Control Program in partnership with the Global Fund, BRAC and other partners successfully expanded TB testing and community care.
By the end of 2021, Bangladesh reached an all-time high in its TB treatment coverage rate. Asad is one of the people who was reached with these vital services.

Suzy’s Fight: Eliminating Malaria Despite COVID-19 and Deadly Storms
Suzy Haylock is fighting for what counts – defeating malaria by bringing testing, treatment and prevention to her community.
As a community health worker, Suzy welcomes patients into her home and conducts outreach throughout the community of Gracias a Dios, Honduras, visiting families and community groups.
Along with her fellow community health workers, she often travels by boat through lagoons, or by motorcycle through difficult terrain to reach people who are most vulnerable - children under 5, pregnant women, fishermen - to raise awareness on prevention while providing health services.

Key Messages
In 2002, in an act of extraordinary global solidarity and leadership, the world came together to create the Global Fund to fight what were then the deadliest pandemics confronting humanity: HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
When the Global Fund was created 20 years ago, HIV, TB and malaria seemed unbeatable. But we have proven that with science, adequate resources, and effective global collaboration, we can force even the deadliest diseases into retreat. In just 20 years, our partnership has saved 50 million lives and cut the death toll by more than half. We have faced impossible odds before, and we can do it again.
In 2022, we need another such moment of global solidarity and leadership. The Global Fund is calling on the world to mobilize US$18 BILLION to save 20 million more lives.
In the face of the catastrophic impact caused by COVID-19 on the fight against HIV, TB and malaria, the choice is stark: We either increase funding, or we abandon the Sustainable Development Goal targets of finally defeating these pandemics by 2030.
COVID-19’s deadly global impact has shown that we must fight existing pandemics and prepare for future health threats at the same time. Investing in resilient, sustainable systems for health is the most effective way to defeat HIV, TB and malaria, strengthen global health security, and achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of health and well-being for all.
With 20 years’ experience bringing diverse partners together to fight the world’s deadliest pandemics, the Global Fund partnership is uniquely positioned to support countries to fight HIV, TB and malaria and strengthen their systems for health.
Now is the moment to fight for what counts and protect everyone, everywhere from the deadliest infectious diseases and build a healthier, more equitable world.
