The Momentum Project

Home » Community » The Momentum Project

The Momentum Project, an affiliate of VillageCare, works for the health and wholeness of individuals and families affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Its vision is a day when HIV/AIDS is cured and an effective vaccine destroys the HIV virus. Until that day, The Momentum Project strives to create a safe, nurturing, inclusive community where each person is valued and respected.

The symbol of unity is the dinner plate and the circle of family and friends who share life by sharing food. Building hope by promoting spiritual wholeness and by encouraging each other to take responsibility for our lives and for ourselves. Additional information can be found at www.themomentumproject.org
