1. What is the idea?

The idea is simple: to try and make 1 billion dollar (US) by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1000 each. Hence, "Buy pixels save us from death". the money raised go to setting up a manufacturing facility to produce these life saving medicines on not profit base in Africa and to distribute the drug through out Africa and for research and development.

So, everyone is welcome to buy my pixels, which are available in 100-pixel 'blocks' (each measuring 10x10 pixels). You will see the homepage of pixel is divided into 10,000 of these 100-pixel blocks (hence there are 1,000,000 pixels in total). The reason for selling them in 100-pixel blocks is because anything smaller would be too small to display anything meaningful.

You can buy as many pixels as you like, as long as there are some available (see the live stats in the top right corner of the page). When you buy some pixels, you can then display an image/ad/logo of your choice in the space you have purchased. You can also have the image click through to your own website. However, no obscene or offensive images are allowed.

The pixels you buy will be displayed on the homepage permanently for 15 years. The homepage will not change. Using some of the money we make from the site, we guarantee to keep it online for at least 15 years, but hopefully much longer. We want you or your business to become a part of this life saving mission ever had in human history. It is good compassionate image being associated with our cause. And it is good to be part of great vision with noble cause with grassroots organization. We believe the pixels will offer good value. These pixels they will bring life and hope to us. For you, they will make proud and they will bring piece of mind because you are making difference in human life that are suffering too much.

 
2. Who we are?

African AIDS Action is a grassroots organization founded and run by Africans who are badly affected by the epidemic and they want to stand and stop these killing field.

3. What is the legal status of African AIDS Action?

African AIDS Action is a registered charity in United Kingdom (charity number 10873778) and is registered company share by guarantee (company number 41828894), and has pending application in USA for 501(c)(3) federal income tax exemption from IRS. We are expecting any time now to be granted and we will write you tax receipts for the money you spend buying the pixels. The money you spend on this life-saving project by buying pixel is fully tax detectable.

4. Why should I buy your pixels?

We Africans are dying from AIDS because the lives saving medicines in the west are neither affordable nor available to us to save our life. To make these life saving drugs Affordable Available accessible to any African we want to set up manufacturing facility in Africa on not profit base in big volume to save our life and have babies free from HIV who are born from HIV+ mother. So buy pixels means you are given life and hope to us.

5. Why can't I buy one single pixel?

We decided that although it would probably be cool if any Business could buy a single pixel each, in practise, it wouldn't so effective. The reason we believe this is because you can't display anything meaningful in one pixel - nor click it easily - so visually, it would be pointless. With thousands of random tiny coloured dots all over the place, the homepage would look ghastly.

We also thought that the site would appeal more to medium and big with businesses/websites to advertise than it would to small businesses, or to put it more accurately, businesses would pay more to have a meaningful graphic on the homepage. Hence the minimum purchase is $100- a 10x10 block

However! If you really want to own a single pixel, there is always the option of clubbing together in industry sector or businesses groups and buying a 10x10 block.

6. How long will the site be online?

The site will be online for indefinite until HIV AIDS exist.

7. How long will the pixels be on the African AIDS Action web site?

For 15 years.
