  • 16 June 2017, Nairobi, Kenya: On 16 June, more than 500 people gathered to commemorate the Day of the African Child in Nairobi, Kenya, and to speak up publicly for the rights of children and adolescents living with HIV. Religious leaders from a range of different faith communities and traditions led a march through the streets of Nairobi, from the All Saints Cathedral to Ufungamano House, accompanied by hundreds of youth and young children from local faith-sponsored schools, after which a ceremony was held where the religious leaders committed publicly to work for children's rights to HIV testing, access to treatment, and freedom from stigma and discrimination, to make sure that those who are in need of treatment are also able to stay on treatment. The day was organized by the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Advocay Alliance together with Inerela+ Kenya, with contributions from a range of other partners. At end of the ceremony, the WCC-EAA launched a global Call to Action entitled "Act now for children and adolescents living with HIV", which was signed by the range of religious leaders.

  • A displaced Catholic woman prays during an open air mass in Agok, a town in the contested Abyei region where tens of thousands of people fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan on most parts of Abyei. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies. Yet in Agok they have no church building, so Mass and religious instruction is carried out in the open air.

Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies. Yet in Agok they have no church building, so Mass and religious instruction is carried out in the open air.

Because they came from communities with Arabic curriculum schools, they often don't fit well in schools in the villages where they resettled, because those schools teach in Kurdish or Assyrian. So the religious order started the school, which has students from several faiths, including Islam and Christianity.
