Fidele Nsengiyumva tirelessly advocated for HIV/AIDS awareness in the Evangelical Friends Church in Rwanda. After returning as a refugee in 2002 and learning he and his wife were HIV-positive, Fidele transformed personal turmoil into embodying hope. He spearheaded INACOS (Initiative of the Friends Fighting HIV/AIDS), supporting religious leaders affected by HIV/AIDS. As Co-Clerk of the FWCC HIV/AIDS committee, he drove adoption of resolutions promoting education, understanding, and inclusivity within Friends. Fidele's legacy of compassion and activism continued until his passing in 2012.
