Last week, to mark the 30th anniversary of World AIDS Day, the vice president announced a historic investment of $100 million of new resources to expand its engagement with faith-based organizations and communities of faith that are serving on the front lines of our fight against HIV/AIDS through PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

Today, millions of vulnerable people around the world are suffering as a result of violence, poverty and injustice. World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization that seeks to provide relief from this suffering. Through love in action, we bring hope, healing and restoration to the world’s most vulnerable.
