Faith and Religion Connections
posted: 09/12/2010
A new UK HIV and Faiths Directory, called HIV Connecting with Faith is now out. This directory, from African Health Policy Network, highlights Muslim and Christian organisations that provide support and - or services for people living with HIV.
The directory is useful and is for health-care professionals, faith communities, community based organisations, formal and informal support groups, statutory and voluntary sector organisations, funders and people living with/affected by HIV.
Eunice Sinyemu, Head of Policy and Deputy CEO at AHPN said
“This directory is an invaluable resource and easy to use. Because faith is an integral part of many people living with and affected by HIV, faith leaders can contribute significantly to the reduction of HIV related stigma and discrimination by providing support to people living with and affected by HIV”.
