Treatment: As Complex As The Disease Itself

Treating AIDS is as complex as the disease itself. It's more than medicatiion, and more than encouraging abstinence. CRWRC embraces all the symptoms and causes of AIDS then addresses the physical, mental and spiritual needs. To do this, CRWRC follows Jesus' example when working with communities living with HIV and AIDS.

Together -- you, the community and the CRWRC -- can effect lasting change by:

• Teaching youth and adults about abstinence and faithfulness in marriage and about the holiness of the human body as taught in scriptures.
  
• Helping families learn to earn an income despite the difficulties of their illness.
• Supporting communities in their care of children orphaned by AIDS.
• Training pastors and church leaders about HIV and how to effectively care for their community.
• Providing community-based health care to families in remote areas.
• Teaching caregivers and people living with HIV and AIDS ways to manage the illness, such as healthy eating.
• Finding ways to get people access to anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs).
• Offering psychological and spiritual counseling.
• Providing seeds for kitchen gardens, to grow disease fighting good and grains like amaranth
• Addressing stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV and AIDS.
