PROJECTS 2009 to 2012: HIV/AIDS PROJECT - A NEW HUNGER
- VARIOUS COUNTRIES
Background
 |
The Church of Scotland HIV/AIDS Project is committed to helping people who live with this life-threatening virus, in Scotland or overseas. |
With the active involvement
of The Guild, we hope to extend our work in a world
currently encountering a major crisis in the provision
of food. With global demand for basic foodstuffs growing
each year, prices are rising dramatically, forcing many
of the world's poorest people to go without meals. For
families struggling with HIV, this represents a real
threat to health, and even to life, as a reliable source
of good food is essential for life-saving antiretroviral
drugs to work.
The project aims to fund church-based initiatives which
will help those infected and affected by HIV to become
more self-sufficient, through income-generation schemes
leading to greater food security, providing new hope
for some of the world's most vulnerable and overlooked
people.
