Project Description
HIV & AIDS Program
Volunteer with Women and Children Living with HIV and Aids in Kenya
Join us to help the fight against HIV and Aids. Volunteering at one of our local Kenyan partners (Karika), you will be doing office work alongside local staff, gaining practical experience in the field of HIV and AIDS in Kenya while making lifelong friends.
Located in the city of Nairobi, you will live with a host family or at a volunteer house while learning about Kenyan culture and the local way of life. Volunteers help prepare access to HIV services and strengthen control efforts toward this epidemic, reducing stigma along the way.
Who can join
- ✓Come with an open mind ready and willing to help in any way possible
- ✓Have some baseline knowledge of HIV and AIDS
- ✓Be able to work alone or with little supervision
- ✓Be self-motivated and goal-orientated
Our goal
Kenyans living with AIDS face high levels of stigma and discrimination. Our goal is to expand access to essential HIV services and strengthen regional control efforts.
By assisting over-worked staff with administration, field outreach, and support services, your presence directly enhances the impact of local healthcare and community initiatives.
Together, we help give women and children hope, dignity, and the knowledge that they are loved and supported.
