On November 30, ambassadors and friends of M · A · C Cosmetics, Dance4Life and Orange Babies met at Hudson’s Bay Amsterdam to work for World Aids Day.
Ambassadors and make-up artists were behind the counter in the M.A.C counter at Hudson’s Bay Amsterdam to sell as many VIVA Glam lipsticks as possible. M.A.C Cosmetics has been donating the entire proceeds of Orange Babies and Dance4Life through World Aids Day for a number of years with World AIDS Day (MAF). All parties are closely involved in the fight for a world without HIV & AIDS.
Brand Manager Benelux of M.A.C Cosmetics Pieter Hertecant handed over the € 329,000 check to the ambassadors.

Orange Babies
Orange Babies aspires to a world where babies are no longer born with HIV, and we aim for a society where mothers, children and young people, who experience the HIV epidemic, have a fair chance of a future. The Dutch foundation was founded in 1999 by three passionate gentlemen from the world of make-up, fashion and design. They joined forces to work on an HIV and AIDS free world. At this moment, Orange Babies initiates and supports around 20 projects in Namibia, Zambia and South Africa; countries that have been hit hard by HIV / AIDS. In our programs we offer vulnerable children and adults access to HIV testing, condoms, medication, counseling, information, nutrition, care and education.
