O Assistance in planning for the future of families, especially children O Meeting the physical needs of food, clothing, medical attention * Take part in providing hospital care that may include: * Promoting 'Family helpers' for people who lost a parent or guardian * Providing care that involves encouraging and supporting those infected and affected * Create an annual National Day of Prayer and Healing for all people affected by the epidemic Looking for ways to protect the interests of especially women and children.Work with government in achieving cost-effective level of health care, especially home-based care.Increase HIV / AIDS through youth programs - to build a strong foundation on s*xuality, adult and responsible for the marriage, the appreciation of youth.Strengthen HIV / AIDS through family enrichment.Identify resources for prevention and education models.I want to raise the discussion at least four key roles that faith-based organizations and individual members of organizations that can play in responding to HIV / AIDS. There are many examples of how faith is the sector responding or may respond to these challenges. There should be no doubt that the faith-based communities have a central role to play in the implementation of this plan. The plan outlines four priorities, namely: (1) Prevention, (2) Care and Support, (3) Research, and and (4) Human Rights. This is a broad national strategic plan designed to guide the country from the response to HIV / AIDS. To ensure the general direction of the call for partnership, we did a development of Five Year Strategic Plan for South Africa, in 2000 in collaboration with all key stakeholders, including faith-based sectors. I believe that our religion can play a major role in combating the stigma associated with HIV / AIDS and encourage a positive attitude and live among those infected and affected. But you have been able to do these programs really make a difference in the lives of those who need care, especially in children. Care was given not limited to a message of hope and spiritual welfare. Religion has always played the role of caring for people who are weak and need support. We ask that you partner because we know that every South African citizen, every leader, the priest of the special and unique to play a role in combating HIV infection and treating people with HIV / AIDS. I stand before you today to further strengthen our partnership in responding to this major challenge, especially the stigma that continues attributed to him. And even if they know or suspect, they are reluctant to come and talk about their condition. Some of them had been sick but they did not know that their illnesses associated with HIV / AIDS. We are no longer only dealing with information and awareness, but with people who are faced with the reality of living with the disease. We are and have made some progress in understanding these challenges, but the long road we have yet to encounter.Īlthough people from all walks of life who have contracted AIDS, but the most vulnerable in our society is part of the poor, the illiterate, women and children who bear most of the burden of the HIV epidemic.Īgainst HIV / AIDS in South Africa has become more complex over 10 years. HIV / AIDS who have been with us for about two decades, remains a problem that continues to be avoided from all of us.
