Capuchin Franciscan Friars
Missionary Activity
Building Bridges...Bringing Hope...
In Zambia 2.2 million people are HIV
positive; about 20% of the adult
population.  It has caused a crisis with an
enormous impact on the economy due to
the depletions of their workforce.  

The Friars are able to provide screening,
treatment, counseling, and sometimes just
comfort and relief to patients and families.
 Father Charlie Hanley together with
Brother Rod Pieretti have created different
programs and are in the process of doing
more.  However, they need support to be
able to keep expanding their invaluable
assistance.  

The Missionaries of Charity Aids Hospice
and the Street Girls and Boys projects in
Lusaka alone need $1,250 per month to
help hundreds of children.  Fr. Charlie
Hanley's AIDS programs needs an average
of $1,500 per month to be able to
maintain assistance to our current patients
and orphans.
