APRECOM 

APRECOM is a abbreviation stands for: AIDS PREvention Community Outreach Ministries. APRECOM exists to provide material, spiritual and social support to people living with HIV/AIDS and their affected families.  We exist to mobilize and train community members and the body of Christ to prevent the spread of HIV. We want to use every opportunity to bring awareness of the needs of children who are at risk of contracting HIV. Our vision is to build families through discipleship to give hope to children.

From the beginning of APRECOM, we have reached out to over 200 people infected with HIV and even more who are affected by HIV.  Counseling is offered to any person who need as well as having a support group once a week for the clients to gather together for fellowship and encouragement.  Food is distributed every two weeks to a number of the clients who are in need.  Assistance paying for medication is offered to those who are considered necessary. 

We have recently opened a new office in Busanza.  At this point in time, this office is open only on Mondays and Wednesday afternoons for a support group.  On Monday’s the main objective is to provide counseling, money for medications, and visit people in their homes.

As APRECOM we are also very concerned for the children and really want the best for them.  We are currently providing school fees for 99 students and are wanting to increase that number within this coming year.  Medicine and food are also provided for the children who need it.  Education and teaching prevention is the number one way that we are going to be able to decrease the spread of AIDS in this world.  Taking time to teach and challenge youth of today to make choices that are going to help them to have a better future.  We have seen and know the burden that the children are carrying and we have a desire to reach farther to help them.  We would like to extent our ministry to be of assistance to more children and youth.
