HIV/AIDS

HIV/AIDS has affected every aspect of community life. Most people in Kenya know someone who has died because of HIV. Daily, wives become widows and children are orphaned because of the disease. Therefore Kijani has prioritised supporting projects that serve children living with HIV/AIDS. Over the past five years, Kijani helped establish a Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) centre at Nanyuki Cottage Hospital and brought the first (and only) CD4 machine to Laikipia District. Today, Kijani is partnering with Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital to support rural outreach health clinics.
