 The Lake Region of Kenya has been devastated by the HIV epidemic. This deadly disease has inflicted over 600,000 people in the region leading to significant economic and social repercussions.
Communities in this region need to secure their future by effectively combating this deadly disease. There is a need to battle this epidemic by a combination of educative means and use of tools and methodologies that would give them greater control over their lives.

The strategy of this upcoming project is to identify a specific number of orphans that could be supported towards a sustainable reliance.
