Effective Advocacy, Networking and Capacity building are the best tools for fighting HIV and AIDS in faith communities
The Malawi Network of Religious Leaders Living with or Personally Affected by HIV and AIDS (MANERELA+) is a voluntary membership network of religious leaders living with or personally affected by HIV and AIDS in Malawi. Our overall purpose is to reduce stigma, silence, denial, discrimination, inaction and miss-action (SSDDIM) with the faith community through the involvement of Religious Leaders living with or personally affected by HIV and AIDS as agents of change at both congregational and national level. The network will endeavor to:
Reduce SSDDIM
Promote the SAVE model
Reduce transmission of HIV
Indirectly improve the welfare and development of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) through social support activities
Advocate to better nutrition among the PLHIV
