A Charity with Mission

We are Star Support Group

The Star support group is a Christian Brothers initiative care and support Centre for the people living with HIV/AIDS registered under the Ministry of state relief rehabilitation and commission. Christian Brothers is a congregation of consecrated religious men founded in the 1800s. They are involved in church mission of liberation, empowering and educating the community on the existing social challenges. Star support group is a successful initiative for the brothers as a response to the social needs of the people of Yambio living with HIV/AIDS. The project began in April 2005 as a result of clients being tested positive in Yambio Hospital VCT Centre. The clients who were tested positive were in need of nutritional, moral, care, spiritual and psychological supports.
