The HIV/AIDS support group meets once a month to encourage each other

Once a month in a small hospital chapel, in Monrovia, a group meets to pray, share and learn together. What does each member in this group have in common? Each of them is living with HIV/AIDS.

Because of their diagnosis, most patients have been abandoned by their families and friends, and have been left to fend for themselves concerning housing, food, and other daily needs. These support group meetings are an important place to be encouraged and strengthened to cope with the challenges of daily life.

The Counseling Department of Eternal Love Winning Africa (ELWA) Hospital educates, counsels, trains, and assists those suffering from HIV/AIDS. The ELWA Counseling Department offers monthly group meetings, medicine, and food to those suffering from HIV/AIDS.

With support from people like you, the department has counseled over 400 newly-diagnosed people living with HIV/AIDS. They have trained 30 people in life skills and basic Christian counseling to equip them to live a Godly life and have an impact for Christ in spite of their diagnosis. Finally, they have established a monthly support group and have made hundreds of visits as part of a home-based care, nutrition, and support program.
