Administrative areas such as the Child Welfare Department who is responsible for home visits and school evaluation visits. The HIV/AIDS Department is responsible for processing HIV screenings and counseling.

The Mobile Clinicprovides medical access to rural villages. STAO counsels, conducts HIV screenings and treats people with HIV/AIDS. Services are provided to people with general ailments. Doctors, nurses, and dentists are always needed. However, opportunities to serve beside trained STAO staff are available to those without medical training.

The church holds the key to defeating this modern-day plague.
Children can suffer because of AIDS, even when they don't have the disease themselves. When a parent dies prematurely, a child's world collapses. Anxiety, depression and despair are common as a child tries to adjust to life without his or her parents. And if dealing with grief isn't difficult enough, children are sometimes shunned by the community because they are feared. At a time when emotional support is needed most, people often turn away. It's usually not intentional. It happens because there. In spite of the disastrous statistics surrounding the AIDS pandemic, thereare many myths and misinformation about HIV/AIDS

You Can Pray

Would you join us, first and foremost, in praying for a solution to the crisis? We have real confidence when we approach the Father in Christ's name, knowing that He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20, NIV).

Please pray:

• that the church would respond with the compassion of Jesus Christ to all those who are affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis.
• that God would use the HIV/AIDS-related projects of Save The Aids Orphans to give eternal hope to those who are hopeless.
• for save the aids orphans Volunteers  around the world who are giving their hearts and their lives to care for people affected by HIV/AIDS
