HIV/AIDS Project

In 2007, DCM assisted in the implementation of an HIV and AIDS project for the ELCK. The project was jointly funded by Lutheran World Relief, Baltimore and Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, 2005 Biennial Convention. This is an ELCK project, focusing on people living with HIV/AIDS and their families, AIDS orphans and their guardians, and church leaders, including pastors, evangelists, parish workers and the lay leaders. This project helped to strengthen the ELCK’s capacity to offer physical, psychological, and spiritual support to people living with HIV/AIDS. The project also provided education about HIV/AIDS and was geared towards stigma reduction among the people living with HIV/AIDS.  DCM is continuing with empowering groups in this line.
