Inside PEPFAR: What’s at Stake and How Churches Can Engage


Listen Later

This episode, we talk with Jenny Dyer, founder of the 2030 Collaborative, about her involvement raising awareness for HIV/AIDS - from working with Bono and the ONE Campaign to championing global health in Washington and beyond.

Jenny breaks down how U.S. programs like PEPFAR have saved millions of lives—and why hardly anyone talks about it anymore. We dig into what’s at risk as funding dries up and how churches can step in to advocate.

If you’re curious about how faith communities can make a real impact in global health, this episode is packed with practical ways to speak up and get involved.
