Rural Health Initiative
The Mobile Clinic provides medical access to rural villages.
BCC counsels, conducts HIV screenings and treats people with HIV/AIDS. Services
are provided to people with general ailments. Doctors, nurses, and dentists are
always needed. However, opportunities to serve beside trained BCC staff are
available to those without medical training.
The ministry holds the key to defeating this modern-day
plague.
Children can suffer because of AIDS, even when they don't have the disease themselves. When a parent dies prematurely, a child's world collapses. Anxiety, depression and despair are common as a child tries to adjust to life without his or her parents. And if dealing with grief isn't difficult enough, children are sometimes shunned by the community because they are feared. At a time when emotional support is needed most, people often turn away. It's usually not intentional. It happens because there. In spite of the disastrous statistics surrounding the AIDS pandemic, there are many myths and misinformation about HIV/AIDS

You Can Pray
Would you join us, first and foremost, in praying for a
solution to the crisis? We have real confidence when we approach the Father in
Christ's name, knowing that He is able to do immeasurably more than all we
ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians
3:20, NIV).
Please pray:
- The Ministry would respond with the compassion of Jesus Christ to all those who are affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis.
- God would use the HIV/AIDS-related projects of Bugiri Children Center to give eternal hope to those who are hopeless.
- for Bugiri Children Center Volunteers around the world who are giving their hearts and their lives to care for people affected by HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS
Orphans & Vulnerable Children
HIV/AIDS provides an opportunity for the Christian church
and community to share the love of Christ with those who are suffering from the
disease. Your gifts will support programs that provide care to people with AIDS
and their families, including home-based care and hospice programs. A $50 gift per
month can provide the resources, including food, medication, or hygiene items,
to care for one family with home-based assistance.
HIV/AIDS Medical Programs
With 32 million men, women, and children infected with
HIV/AIDS, the medical needs facing mission hospitals and other medical
facilities are enormous. Your gifts will assist programs that provide medical
care, including medications and counseling to prevent mother-to-child
transmission, for those infected with HIV. A gift of $25 can supply medication
and post-natal counseling to prevent one HIV-infected mother from passing the
virus on to her child.
OTHER WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED:
There are many ways that you can support the needs of
