The AJAN vision, of\u00a0empowered individuals, families and communities working towards an HIV- and AIDS-free society and fullness of life<\/em>, is realised by Jesuits and their co-workers who reach out to people with HIV, their families, widows and orphans, and who seek to prevent the spread of the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

They do so in the course of their daily work, as they seek to live a faith that does justice. \u201cAIDS affects those we serve, and touches all the fields we are engaged in: parishes, the sectors of health, education, development, social services and others,\u201d says Fr Paterne Momb\u00e9 SJ, AJAN Director. \u201cOne can find a place for it in all our apostolic sectors and include it in all our activities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Services offered include pastoral counselling, home-based care, income-generating activities, and educational, medical and nutritional support. Prevention of HIV thorough value-based education, prevention of mother-to-child transmission and testing services is crucial, not least among young people.<\/span><\/p>\n
