The Christian Health Association of Liberia’s Family Life Education and HIV/AIDS Program was started in 1988 with support from ICCO. The FLE, HIV/AIDS Program was designed to promote health education in the community through CHAL member institutions to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases and promote a Christian health approach to family life. The program trains health workers, pastors, teachers and students to share health information related to the prevention and control of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases to the communities.

OBJECTIVES:

• To enable the CHAL member units and communities/individuals interacting with CHAL to take measures to prevent and control the spread of HIV/AIDS and STDs and to support people affected by HIV/AIDS.

• To conduct workshops for health workers, pastors, and persons with basic social work skill to enable them to do AIDS counseling and care.

• To make available material on HIV/AIDS/STDs prevention and control.

• Make available supplies to facilitate HIV/AIDS awareness building at member units.
