Faith-based Letter to Congress Supporting PEPFAR
CCIH joined 43 other faith-based organizations in signing on to a letter to the US Congress expressing our strong support for continuing the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The letters asks Congress to reauthorize PEPFAR before the end of FY 2023, to ensure the continuation of its life-saving programs. PEPFAR has saved tens of millions of lives since it was created by President George W. Bush, who felt strongly that the US was morally obligated to help people with illnesses in low-income countries access medication that was not unavailable to them. PEPFAR has helped to turn the tide in the global fight against AIDS, demonstrating U.S. leadership in saving lives and safeguarding human dignity of the most vulnerable people.
