| 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. |
