On 16th October at the 10:30am Family Service we were delighted to welcome Gideon Mubiru from the Gideon Anti-Aids Foundation in Uganda who spoke briefly about the work of GAAF and led the congregation in a participative demonstration of African drumming.
The Gideon Anti-Aids Foundation was founded by Pastor Gideon Mubiru with Harry Eccles in response to the plight of the people around him suffering from HIV/AIDS. It was registered as a charity in 2009.
Since then the Foundation has been recognised by the President of Uganda for its work to combat the spread of AIDS. The GAAF vision is:
To promote human values through advocacy and community outreach programs.
To support the orphaned child by giving them an opportunity to realise their full potential and capabilities.
GAAF Aims:
- to sensitize people in Uganda about HIV/AIDS.
- to promote community development
- to provide HIV/AIDS counselling
- to sensitize communities to the plight of vulnerable children and youth
- to provide foster care and life skills for vulnerable children and youth
- to provide child sponsorship for orphans and vulnerable children.
