The Care and Compassion Movement is designed to engage religious and community groups all over Zambia to get passionately involved in all efforts directed at h alting further spread of HIV/AIDS and efficiently managing the present level of infection through promotion of greater care and compassion.|The Care and Compassion Movement is a key activity being implemented by the Health Communication Partnership (HCP) in collaboration with the Zambian Ministry of Health, the National AIDS Council, and the Zambia Interfaith Networking Group on HIV/AIDS (ZINGO). The program is supported by the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).|More than 700 religious leaders and members of their congregations, mosques, and temples from Christian, Muslim, Bahai, and Hindu faiths participated in the celebration of Zambia's first national day devoted to care and compassion for those living with HIV/AIDS. As part of the event, Mr. James Bednar, the USAID Mission Director in Zambia presented new "Zambia Compassion Kits" to more than 200 religious leaders trained in psycho-social counseling on HIV/AIDS. Seven leaders of the religious mother bodies in Zambia (Christian, Muslim, Bahai and Hindu) signed a declaration calling on all religious and community leaders to make the formation of care and support groups a priority. They also strongly condemned all forms of stigma, discrimination, and isolation against persons living with the disease in their churches, mosques, and communities and called on all Zambians to go for counseling and testing. less
