"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Youth on nation building, deal with Health, Nutrition & HIV/AIDS
programs provide health education and palliative care to ensure that
individuals and communities have the knowledge and resources to lead
healthy lives. We focus our efforts on communities where malnutrition is
high and the need for family planning, reproductive health and HIV/AIDS
awareness and education is evident.

We operate in the areas of health skills, maternal and child health and
nutrition, family planning, adolescent reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. In
particular, we emphasize our service to at-risk populations, such as
orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) and people living with HIV/AIDS,

The importance of comprehensive, holistic care is strongly reflected in our
program design. We are not only provide education and assistance in health
care, but also train community leaders and individuals to develop expertise
in home-based care and support, such as maternal and child care,
psychosocial counseling, or HIV/AIDS-related care, so that they can help
their communities lead healthier lives.

The primary objectives at {Y O N B}is to provide, Health CARE programs,
Nutrition & HIV/AIDS programs,

In 2000, 24 million Africans were infected with HIV. Africa loses another
6,000 people every day from HIV/AIDS. Africa also has another 11,000 people
infected with HIV every single day.

Over 32 million people are now infected worldwide from HIV/AIDS. Africa has
over two-thirds of those cases now and over 1.5 million deaths from
HIV/AIDS. Africa has over one million people affected each year with HIV.
AIDS in Africa has grown to such unbelievable proportions; it is difficult
to grasp the scale with which this country is affected with HIV. Africa’s
population is slowly dwindling due to AIDS in Africa.

What can you do to help HIV/AIDS in Africa? There are several things you
can do to help combat the spread of HIV. Africa needs money. Donate money
to AIDS in Africa treatment facilities.

Many of these HIV/AIDS African clinics do not have the money to support
drug therapies for easing the symptoms of HIV/AIDS. Africa does not have
many of the drugs that are available to treat HIV. What drugs are available
are not the most up-to-date for the treatment of AIDS. In Africa, the poor
do not receive health care, even for HIV/AIDS. Africa is trying to remedy
this situation by raising funds for research and treatment, but still only
one in five are able to secure drugs for the treatment of HIV. Africa has
asked for assistance from around the world.

Much of the AIDS in Africa is located in remote villages. In these areas,
if someone gets sick, they stay at home. An AIDS diagnosis will mean
banishment from the village. Contributing to AIDS in Africa, there is
little food and even less clean water. Health care is almost non existent
for HIV. Africa has no public health system to speak of and universal HIV
drugs are not universal here.

Donations are also needed to teach Africans about the prevention of HIV.
Africa has tried to inform its citizens about the risks of contracting HIV.
Africa has such a large population of people that have no access to HIV
information, however, that at times it seems almost futile to attempt to
teach information about HIV. Africa must develop a way to educate its
people and get health care to those that are suffering from HIV. Africa
does not have the resources. Since the effects are so wide spread of
HIV/AIDS, Africa has many citizen groups claiming the government is using
AIDS in Africa as a way to eradicate the poor overpopulation in the country.

AIDS in Africa is at such monumental proportions, it is doubtful the true
numbers of the disease will ever be known. Poor hygiene, poor medical
facilities, and no information on the disease and how it is spread are the
top three causes of AIDS in Africa.

Consider making a monetary donation to assist with medical supplies for the
treatment of HIV. Africa is now realizing what an epidemic they have and
finally have begun to ask for help within the last ten years.

Women and children are banished from their homes if they contract HIV/AIDS.
Africa must address these social issues to help prevent the spread of
HIV/AIDS. Africa has come along ways in the last few years, but has a very
long, uphill battle ahead , You can also provide support to your friends by
joining (YONB) raise money to find solution on how to help people living
with HIV/AID. ( YONB) raise money through many types of fundraisers and
benefits. HIV/AIDS funds that are raised go to help people that are
infected with the virus by providing vital drugs and counseling and h I v
education to those who can't afford it. Joining (YONB) may help your friend
feel more at ease when talking to you about the disease. Most people with
HIV/AIDS need to know that the person they confide in understands the
obstacles they face. (YONB) may offer classes for you and your loved one to
join in together. Many classes offer information on how to build trust and
how to learn to depend on a friends or family member.

You will have to understand that your loved one may feel like a burden
since they have HIV/AIDS. Many people who have even started facing physical
challenges feel this way. They know that as the HIV/AIDS virus progresses,
they will need help with even the most private of tasks. YONB offer tips on
how to care for your loved one, without imposing in their independence.
Independence is the last link to normality ,

When you have a family member or friend that has HIV/AIDS, it can be very
difficult to deal with. However, no matter how hard it is on you
emotionally, it is much worse for them. The best thing you can do for
someone with HIV/AIDS is provide emotional support. Having an illness can
be emotionally trying on anyone, but for someone who has HIV/AIDS, it can
be devastating. HIV/AIDS is one of the few illnesses that have no cure yet, you
