HIV Nurses are very valuable

In Kenya, a diagnosis of HIV is still very stigmatized and people can lose their jobs and be outcast from their community and family.  Women may be trying to deal with having passed the virus onto their children.   In addition to providing medication, it is very important to provide counseling to the patients to address their coping with the diagnosis as well as counseling them on prevention and living with the disease.

You generous donation to our Rota, Kenya, clinic provides support to our HIV counselling nurses as well as our clinical officer.  This support is extremely valuable in the area and we thank you for letting us be able to provide it!
