Top Roche Fundraisers Visit Malawi

Each year, the names of the top Roche fund-raisers from around the globe are entered into a drawing, and several are selected to visit Malawi. During their trip, the participants have the opportunity to visit the orphan centers and speak to the children, local helpers and European Coalition of Positive People (ECPP). This allows participants to see for themselves how the donations from the Global Roche Employee AIDS Walk are being used.

About the Roche Children's Walk

The Roche Children's Walk was originally the Roche Employee AIDS Walk, which started in 2003 as a pilot project involving three Roche locations. It was inspired by employees concerned about the growing number of AIDS orphans in Africa and their desire to personally do something to help. The pilot walk was an overwhelmingly success: 1,300 employees participated and a total of 330,000 Swiss francs were raised. Since then it has continuously grown, and last year 95 sites participated, with over 14,000 colleagues walking, and over one million Swiss francs were donated to support the AIDS orphans in Malawi. The focus of the activities is on building and equipping seven orphan centers, including a health clinic, in Southern Malawi, which provide day care and support learning to approximately 3,000 children as well as life-saving resources such as food, water, clothing and basic healthcare. The goals of these centers are to keep the children off the streets and offer the hope of a brighter future.
