Current estimates suggest nearly 33 million people are living with HIV, a disease that devastates communities across the globe.
This unprecedented loss of life has critically affected the capacity of governments and other institutions, even reversing progress on development in many highly affected countries.
The pandemic is deepening poverty in entire communities, with children usually hit hardest.
The church has a key role to play – both locally and globally – providing services to affected communities and influencing government decisions.
By 2016, we aim to stop and reverse the impact of HIV where we work by supporting those affected, promoting access to health care and treatment, and tackling the stigma often associated with the disease.
We’re committed to a ten-year journey, which is already keeping thousands of mothers, fathers and children alive, and in families.
Since 2006 Tearfund supporters have given generously to make this vision a reality. The impact has already worked a miracle in thousands of people’s lives.
