The document was signed at the First Zambian Open Day for Care and Compassion for People Living with HIV/AIDS, organized by the Zambia Inter-Faith Networking Group. Church leaders agreed to: offer support to those in their communities infected by the disease; pray for all those affected; and have open discussions in their respective places of worship.
