This article at the BBC regarding the Aids problem in Kenya struck me as a good move by the folks at One World. While the name does nothing to impress me, the organization itself does good work by educating people about the global nature of this disease.

What would be a great complement to this is an international P2P effort that works something like the SETI program, using idle PC cycles to crunch zillions of numbers.

People will be able to text questions on the subject to a special number and receive a prompt answer for free.
Subscribers will also get daily tips on how to prevent the infection and to deal with the pandemic. The non-governmental organisation, One World, is launching the service to coincide with the World Aids Day on Wednesday. Kenya has declared HIV/Aids a national disaster, since more than two million out of a total population of 32.4 million are HIV positive. A cumulative number of more than 1.5 million people had died due to Aids.
