CABSA makes information available, creates understanding, helps congregations become involved, trains leaders, is involved in initiatives and supports processes to mobilise churches and congregations in South and southern Africa.

The staff and co-workers serve churches and communities throughout the region, depending on funding availability. CABSA works together with CARIS, an information service which works to make sure that Churches and Christian organisations have:

• Information available that will enhance their effectiveness, building on the experiences and resources of best practice models
• A platform to share information and network effectively
• Access to a variety of evaluated resource materials, to guide and optimise their efforts

CARIS aims to offer quality, reliable and accessible information and resources to empower Christian initiatives in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
