How do you get my funds to the needy in times of emergencies and other disaster? Mostly by bank transfer as we have person’s representing us worldwide.

How is AIDS awareness/prevention /understanding etc part of your project?

Lack of awareness about AIDS has resulted in fear, shame and denial. The resulting wall of silence had hindered prevention and care efforts.

The ministry now works with other stakeholders to reduce the stigma so that people can support vulnerable children and they take advantage of the available resources.

Some believe AIDS is punishment, how would you respond to that?

1.        Supporting the spiritual element of life through counseling can help people share the burdens, express their grief, tell stories and face the future with hope. Counselors whether trained or not, from a religious faith or not, have understood that they are being invited into the living space of other people. The conversations that happen there are often painful and difficult, and we know that our role is to support not to judge.

2.        And one on to one counseling about HIV/AIDS is also the key to any communication effort.

How would your Christian beliefs influence what you do? How are they visible at your project?

Community has understood that it is through God and prayer that they are seeing the fruits in their community. Although the gospel has been presented through the pulpit and possibly crusades, we feel our approach through charitable activities has greatly contributed to getting Christ known in our community.
