The Light of Hope Trust's involvement
in HIV/AIDS originated in 1999 as a result of a meeting of Church Ministers
held under the auspices of the Wilgespruit Fellowship Centre. The primary
objective of this meeting was to change the perception that HIV/AIDS
was "a punishment for immoral behaviour", the recognition of the need
for:
- Care
- Concern
- Cure (if possible)
The Wilgespruit Fellowship Centre,
under the patronage of four South African Nobel Peace Laureates is currently
expanding its mission to promote peace locally and internationally.
As part of this mission, the Wilgespruit
Fellowship Centre, is actively involved in the establishment of orphanages,
day schools, nurseries and the creation of work opportunities for women
who are HIV positive. This aspect of its work has led to the recognition
of the need for an intensive HIV/AIDS Awareness Campaign.
