WHY AFRICA

Africa is the hardest hit. Eight out of ten children that are orphaned by AIDS live in Africa.
Africa has only 10% of the world s population, but nearly 64% of the global burden of AIDS.
Unlike Asia, which is deep denial regarding the vastness of HIV/AIDS and the pending devastation, Africa is very open to western resources and assistance.
A non-response ultimately becomes a response that reveals the content of our hearts and minds. Jesus would be involved in Africa because of the great need. Inaction is no longer an option.
