Reducing the Impact of HIV Among Kenyan Teens

Learn how Together for Kenya is helping to reduce the impact of HIV among Kenyan teens.

The majority of children living with HIV are infected via mother-to-child (MTCT) during pregnancy, child birth and or breast feeding. A child with HIV has the right to attend school.

HFC at Nazareth Hospital has developed an excellent program to reach and educate HIV+ youth through social groups, media and peer outreach.

Recently HFC reported 22 beneficiaries of the Together for Kenya scholarship program remained in school and have achieved a viral suppression rate of 91%.

Education and social structure has certainly helped these children develop self esteem that has improved their health outcome. 

Congratulations to these 22 scholars… we are honored to have helped!
