AIDS Ministry
- The Apostles of Jesus AIDS Ministry (AJAM)
is an initiative of the Apostles of Jesus Missionaries to
mobilize and bring together the clergy, religious and a team of lay
experts from all religious denominations to provide a pastorally
oriented community-based response to the ever expanding
HIV/AIDS
crisis in the Ngong Hills area in Kenya, the area most hit and
devastated. Prompted and motivated by our faith we collaborate with the
local communities within the Ngong Hills area forming this
AIDS
Service Organization (ASO), to address the spiritual challenges
of the pandemic to people of all creeds and walks of life within the
area without excluding others.
The AJAM mission is the
direct services to the community, which includes prevention and
awareness creation; counseling, community capacity building,
compassionate care, advocacy and support as well as medical, and through
sharing researched information with others.
