Following the roundtable discussion, the OFBCI will host a service project for the young entrepreneurs in partnership with World Vision, a faith-based international nonprofit and PEPFAR and PMI partner, to build Caregiver Kits for men and women who provide home-based care to people with HIV/AIDS, supported by faith-based and community organizations.
