Our Mission
EMPACT Africa is dedicated to empowering pastors in sub-Saharan Africa to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic by attacking the stigma and discrimination which are barriers to effective prevention and treatment.
Make a Difference!
You and your church can make a difference in the fight to end the stigma of HIV and AIDS. EMPACT Africa will link you up with a congregation in southern Africa. Your support and encouragement will help them beat the stigma that kills.

Our Work
Partnering with Pastors
Local pastors in sub-Saharan Africa are on the front lines in the war against AIDS. They see their congregations dying, the growing number of orphans, an economy that is losing its productive generation, and the poisonous effects of stigma and discrimination.
The pastors, as recognized community leaders, are in a unique position to change the attitudes and behavior of their congregations and communities. EMPACT Africa’s mission is to support them in this battle. Our name stems from empowering pastors to act.
