Welcome to Interact Worldwide
Interact Worldwide works in collaborative partnerships with local and national organisations and governments, to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights, including maternal health care, family planning and HIV/AIDS services, of some of the poorest and most marginalised people in the world. Whole communities benefit but especially marginalised groups such as women, children and those living with HIV/ AIDS. Interact Worldwide is an INGO – an international charity with over 30 years experience and relies on donations to fund its overseas projects and programmes.

Nigel Havers launches give40 campaign
Nigel Havers is the latest celebrity to sign up to support give40 and the work of Interact Worldwide. Nigel star of Chariots of Fire (1981), Empire of the Sun, Farewell to the King, The Charmer and who also co-starred for several years in the 1980s BBC sitcom Don't Wait Up alongside Tony Britton, recorded a radio advertisement to promote give40 and our work with HIV/AIDS for World AIDS Day. You can hear the 30 second advert here or the 40 second advert here.
Mother to Child Transmission (MTCT) is the primary way that children are infected with HIV. There are over 500,000 infections each year and most of these can be prevented by a course of drugs given to the pregnant mother in the last few days of pregnancy and to the new born baby in the first few hours of delivery. To see a short film made by the BBC about the work of Interact Worldwide go here.
This World AIDS Day Interact Worldwide is calling on everyone to help by donating 40 minutes in their give40 campaign to help the charity in their fight against HIV/AIDS. Please help if you can.
We're counting on YOU!
