Women of Hope

Women of Hope began in 2004 as a combined vision of Esther David and Mary Beth Oyebade. The group is called Women of Hope because they have hope in Jesus Christ, and they have hope that they can make a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. They are compelled to speak out about HIV/AIDS rather than hide it from the world. The 15 members of Women of Hope are determined to tell others about their personal experiences with HIV/AIDS in the hope of saving a generation of Nigerians. They are ready to speak out anytime, anywhere, and to anyone in the hope of halting HIV/AIDS and making Nigeria a better place for their children. Their theme song, We must go with Jesus anywhere, no matter the roughness of the road, tells of their desire to get the story out. They have literally gone on the road to many different parts of Nigeria to share their own stories of pain transformed into hope.
