The objectives of this study were to examine the role of compassion international deliverance church towards children in a way of providing services such as prevention of HIV/AIDs related stigmas, ensuring good nutrition, finding out the challenges they face and access to education as well as care and support interventions provided by compassion international deliverance church for example Rehabilitation and resettlement is one approach that cuts across, Findings revealed that some of these interventions target both the children living with HIV/AIDS while others particularly target children that have not been infected by the HIV/AIDS
The study concluded that Faith-based organizations have increasingly become involved in HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support activities but few of their efforts have been appreciated, documented or even evaluated. They have instead faced various criticisms over some of their preventive strategies, particularly the use of condoms, stigma, fear, and misinformation. Some of their messages, which usually emphasize premarital abstinence and marital fidelity, often clash with secular emphasis on safer sex. Most of the literature on the role of FBOs in dealing with the HIV/AIDS crisis is scarce and primarily addresses the influence of religious beliefs and organizational structures on HIV/AIDS by promoting and even enforcing less risky behaviours. | en_US |
