AIDS is a global pandemic that often seems too overwhelming to understand and even more impossible to fight. But Compassion’s AIDS Initiative offers comprehensive and holistic services that allow us to proactively fight this widespread disease one child at a time.

Compassion’s treatment program is administered through the local church in each community. When the local church monitors health, provides treatment options, and offers prevention education, families willingly begin treatment. Children receive love when they are stigmatized, and parents find hope in the love of Jesus Christ.
