In many African countries such as Kenya, HIV/Aids is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people each and every year.
In an effort combat this deadly disease, many hospital and local NGOS are presently running HIV/AIDS testing, counseling, and an awareness campaigns in Kenya. Our HIV/AIDS volunteer program is aimed at giving care and support to the HIV infected and also creating awareness to vulnerable groups about the dangers of HIV/Aids through HIV/Aids outreach programs.
These Outreach programs are generally done through schools and community groups while work consists of; visiting patients in their homes, helping with medical care and food, conducting lessons to educate people on the dangers of HIV and how to prevent themselves from getting infected. Our program is organized in collaboration with Government institutions, NGOs, and community based organization CBOs who are working very closely with the communities and HIV/Aids patients.
