President Clinton has brought new attention to the growing epidemic of childhood obesity in America. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a partnership between the Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association, has helped more than 12,000 schools create healthier learning environments for more than 30 million students in the United States.
Building on a lifetime of public service, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to improve global health, strengthen economies worldwide, promote healthier childhoods and health and wellness, and protect the environment. Over the past 11 years, President Clinton's vision and leadership have resulted in nearly 5 million people benefiting from lifesaving HIV/AIDS treatment; more than 15,000 U.S. schools building healthier learning environments; more than 33,000 micro-entrepreneurs, small business owners, and smallholder farmers improving their livelihoods and communities; and more than 248 million tons of CO2 being reduced in cities around the world. And President Clinton has redefined the way we think about giving and philanthropy through the Clinton Global Initiative, whose members have made nearly 2,300 commitments that are improving the lives of more than 400 million people in more than 180 countries.
The Clinton Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization
