Produced by Lee Liberman of Melbourne, The Day in the Life of Africa is an extraordinary photographic project reflecting the work of almost 100 of the world's top photojournalists to document the entire continent of Africa in just 24 hours - a tapestry of stunning beauty.
When the photographs were shot in February, 2002, it was generally believed that more than 15 million Africans had already died in the AIDS panemic while a further 25 million others were infected.
Publishing profits from this project are directed to the Day in the Life of Africa AIDS Education Fund created for the express purpose of channelling money into effective on-the-ground AIDS-education programs on the African continent.
The Australian AIDS Fund Incorporated and Melbourne's AIDS Information Services supports and applauds this initiative.
