Getu Wake is the chairman of the Meserete Christos Church in Adami Tulu, and headed the region's HIV bureau for two years.

Yeshi was one of 260 parents supported by a church project. She was one of those who tested HIV-positive, and was willing to go public.

The church provides grains and oils, and Mr Getu supplements this with some meat.

"This could have happened to anyone," he says. "As a religious leader I have to be there for people with HIV."
