A new building being erected by the Anglican Church in Botswana will help to energise a deprived township on the outskirts of the capital city Gaborone, says USPG.
Former USPG mission companion the Very Rev Nick Darby helped to instigate the project, which will see the creation of an attractive dual-purpose building to serve as both a church and a day centre for Aids orphans.
Nick explained that HIV and Aids tended to be more prevalent in communities that also struggled with crime, poverty and a lack of support. He is hoping that by reaching out into the community, the new church will have a positive influence, even helping to reduce the incidence of HIV and Aids.
