Our work
With arguably the world’s widest inequality gap, half the population lives below the poverty line and almost 20% of adults are HIV positive. Partners, often church-based, are tackling economic injustice through high level advocacy and campaigning. Others are supporting people living with HIV and providing community care and support for orphans and vulnerable children.
