Churches' Role in Diseases of Poverty

“Churches and communities of faith: Significant and sustainable partners in the fight against the diseases of poverty ” An editorial recognizing the role of Faith Communities by Vice-President of Christian Connections for International Health
“The faith community – often visible as a church congregation in one location – has been at the center of health and healing initiatives for centuries. It has a lot to offer to the world’s intensified battle against the diseases of poverty.  The most basic strengths are its ubiquitous presence, its programs of outreach to the poor and its pool of committed personnel to accomplish tasks. “… “They have been at it for a long time and have the infrastructure ready to expand coverage in the fight against AIDS, TB and Malaria.”
