Imagine if you had been invited to be a part of the discovery of penicillin which has saved millions of lives. Or envision if you were on the team that created the Salk vaccine to eradicate polio. What if you were one of the visionaries that helped invent an entirely new way of making healthcare accessible to billions of people?

The good news is, you actually DO have the opportunity to be a part of this third breakthrough. You can be a pioneer. You can be in on the ground floor of the Western Rwanda HIV/AIDS Healthcare Initiative that will potentially affect the lives of 600,000 Rwandans in the Karongi District of the Western Province.

With the widest distribution and the largest volunteer base, the network of millions of local churches around the world is best positioned to revolutionize healthcare, making it both accessible and affordable to those who have never enjoyed it. We dream of the day when local churches, linked with community health systems and hospital care systems, will provide basic healthcare to those in need around the world!

With hope for a better life for billions of people,

“Partnering with churches is difficult, and it takes longer than doing it by yourself. One difference in the PEACE Plan is that I trust pastors and churches to know their community better than we ever will. In the long run, relationships are the key.”

Dr. Rick Warren

Pastor, Saddleback Church

“Positive change and transformation occurs in a society when stakeholders work in a spirit of unity, mutual respect and complementing each other. The Western Rwanda HIV/AIDS Healthcare Initiative is providing an example whereby the Rwanda churches represented by the National Steering Committee, the Government of Rwanda represented by the Ministry of Health, Saddleback Church and The University of Maryland Foundation are joining efforts for better healthcare for the people of the Western District of Karongi.”
