• Doctors Without Borders. "Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been caring for people living with HIV/AIDS in developing countries since the 1990s, and began offering antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in its programs in Cameroon, Thailand, and South Africa in 2000....MSF is currently providing ART to 100,500 patients in 32 countries: " (http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/home.cfm)
  
  
• Generation Why: Health. "Good health is something that’s easy to take for granted. But when you consider that 6,000 children die of diarrhoea each day, or that 2.2 million people die every year from diseases caught from contaminated water, or that 40 million people in the world are infected with HIV, you start to realise that for many people in the world, illness is extremely serious."

• Idealist.org. "Over 45,000 nonprofit organizations from around the world use Idealist to list information about the work they do. This information includes their mission and how to contact them, volunteer opportunities, internships, resources, and services that they provide." (http://www.idealist.org/kt/)
  
  
• NetAid: Global Health. "Each day, 6,000 people die from HIV/AIDS. Every 30 seconds, an African child dies of malaria. The vast majority of these deaths are preventable. While the political will is beginning to coalesce to confront the ravages of HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB, more public pressure needs to be applied to turn initial successes into long-term change."

• TakingITGlobal: Health and Wellness. "TakingITGlobal.org is a global online community, providing youth with inspiration to make a difference, a source of information on issues, opportunities to take action, and a bridge to get involved locally, nationally and globally."

• youTHink (World Bank): Health. "Good health is an important foundation for economic growth and a thriving society. In the developing world, poor health produces a vicious cycle: the same conditions that create poverty put health at increased risk." (http://youthink.worldbank.org/issues/health/)
