New Vision (Kampala) - September 9, 2003
Muchina was meeting Busoga Diocese Development co-ordinator, the Rev. Chris Kyewe, at Bugembe on Wednesday. He said this could help reduce the rate of HIV infection.
She said religious leaders met big numbers of people and should utilise the opportunity to pass on the message.
"Some of our people need to be reminded very often and since the clergy have more time with the people, they can effectively disseminate the message. We all have one goal, to eliminate the scourge and the churches need healthy people," she said.
FBO is involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS and also provides safe water and insecticide-treated mosquito nets. It operates in 70 countries.
