The assembly oversees homes for individuals who are passing on HIV/AIDS, sickness, and tuberculosis. Likewise, this organization runs soup kitchens, dispensaries, portable facilities, youngsters’ and family guiding projects, just as shelters and schools. Individuals take pledges of modesty, neediness, and dutifulness and declare the fourth promise – to give “sincere free support” to the poorest poor.
