God’s love, like any love, involves real trust. And in relationships, trust requires mutuality. Sometimes it may require a part of myself that I don’t necessarily want others to see. This same vulnerability, intimacy, and mutuality should characterize our love for and trust in God. – Brother Robert L’Esperance

Peter lives beside Lake Kyoga, where HIV and AIDS has been an issue in the villages. World Renew is sensitizing the fishermen to HIV and AIDS through their partner Kaberamaido Mission Development Program.

By establishing health champions in the villages and creating men’s, women’s, boys and girls groups, messaging about lifestyle choices and HIV prevention is making a big difference in the outlook for the families here. These health groups are now morphing into savings groups too. Peter’s group will begin their savings this year.

Peter himself has decided to remain faithful to his wife. This will protect her from HIV and will also ensure that she and their children will be supported and cared for.

World Renew works in 1,841 of the world’s poorest communities to help bring about lasting change for all who live there. To help demonstrate this ministry, we’ve selected three communities that you can follow over time – because this is work that takes time! Kaberamaido is one of the communities we selected.
