Rural
Health Initiative
The Mobile Clinic provides medical
access to rural villages. L.O.M counsels, conducts HIV screenings and treats
people with HIV/AIDS. Services are provided to people with general ailments.
Doctors, nurses, and dentists are always needed. However, opportunities to
serve beside trained L.O.M staff are available to those without medical training.
The ministry holds the key to
defeating this modern-day plague.
Children can suffer because of AIDS, even when they don't have the disease themselves. When a parent dies prematurely, a child's world collapses. Anxiety, depression and despair are common as a child tries to adjust to life without his or her parents. And if dealing with grief isn't difficult enough, children are sometimes shunned by the community because they are feared. At a time when emotional support is needed most, people often turn away. It's usually not intentional. It happens because there. In spite of the disastrous statistics surrounding the AIDS pandemic, there are many myths and misinformation about HIV/AIDS

You Can Pray
Would you join us, first and
foremost, in praying for a solution to the crisis? We
have real confidence when we approach the Father in Christ's name, knowing that
He is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians
3:20, NIV).
Please pray:
- The Ministry would respond with the compassion of Jesus Christ to all those who are affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis.
- God would use the HIV/AIDS-related projects of Light For Orphans Ministry to give eternal hope to those who are hopeless.
- for Light For Orphans Ministry Volunteers around the world who are giving their hearts and their lives to care for people affected by HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS Orphans & Vulnerable
Children
HIV/AIDS provides an opportunity for
the Christian church and community to share the love of Christ with those who
are suffering from the disease. Your gifts will support programs that provide
care to people with AIDS and their families, including home-based care and
hospice programs. A $50 gift per month can provide the resources, including
food, medication, or hygiene items, to care for one family with home-based
assistance.
HIV/AIDS Medical Programs
With 32 million men, women, and
children infected with HIV/AIDS, the medical needs facing mission hospitals and
other medical facilities are enormous. Your gifts will assist programs that
provide medical care, including medications and counseling to prevent
mother-to-child transmission, for those infected with HIV. A gift of $ 50 can
supply medication and post-natal counseling to prevent one HIV-infected mother
from passing the virus on to her child.
OTHER WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED:
There are many ways that you can
support the needs of children affected by HIV/AIDS in Uganda
