- [Living Positively: The Story of Asunta Wagura](https://kenwakenya.org/living-positively-the-story-of-asunta-wagura/): Do you know me? My name is Asunta Wagura, and this is my son, Joshua. I want to share my story with you—not because I seek sympathy, but because I want you to know that HIV is not the end of life. It is a journey, one that I have walked for decades with courage, resilience, and hope. I found out that I was HIV-positive in 1987. At that time, the world was filled with fear, stigma, and little knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Discovering my status was devastating, but over time, I learned that knowledge is power. Acceptance became my strength, […]

- [Mental Health Programs](https://kenwakenya.org/mental-health-programs/): The World Health Organization estimates that about 800,000 people die by suicide each year. According to the Mental Health Atlas 2017 released by WHO, the ratio of mental health workers can be as low as 2 per 100,000 people in low income countries, compared to more than 70 in high income countries. It is also estimated that 540 million people suffer from mental disorders, with almost three-quarters of them living in middle and low income countries. ACTIVITIES
- [So, tell me about your HIV status…](https://kenwakenya.org/tell-me-about-your-hiv-status/): It was a Saturday afternoon in 2006, and Florence and two girlfriends were planning to go to Kenyatta National Hospital to get their HIV results. The previous day, one of the girlfriends had called Florence in distress; she had found her boyfriend cheating with a girl who was rumoured to have been around the block quite a few times, and now she was worried that she had contracted HIV from him. Florence and another girlfriend got together to accompany her to the hospital for her tests – and also took the test themselves in a show of moral support. Florence […]
- [My dream is to celebrate my hundredth birthday](https://kenwakenya.org/my-dream-is-to-celebrate-my-hundredth-birthday/): I am the HIV activist who keeps preaching that, with the great medical strides we have made, no person should die of HIV-related complications. That is why I am walking the talk. And it will be a 50-year-long walk. I have set my sights on the year 2065. That is when, God willing and meds working well, I will hit a century. I have already reached the halfway mark: 50, which some sisters dread more than cellulite.   Don’t laugh. I am not high. Neither have my antiretrovirals loosened nuts inside my bald head like they sometimes do. My doctor can confirm this: […]
- [Will you support one of my children?](https://kenwakenya.org/will-you-support-one-of-my-children/): EVERY YEAR, when children write the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams, our organisation crunches numbers. We try and calculate the cost of sending “our children” to secondary school. When I say, “our children”, I mean the orphans and vulnerable children that KENWA, in partnership with other organisations and individuals, educate up to university, some in technical institutions. When national exam results are released, and the country celebrates the top pupils, I worry about our children’s future. Regardless of performance, our organisation believes that no child should be left behind. When KCPE results are announced, our biggest worry is […]
- [Here is what every HIV-positive father should give his children](https://kenwakenya.org/here-is-what-every-hiv-positive-father-should-give-his-children-2/): In the 80s to mid-90s, before the advent of drugs to prolong lives of HIV-positive people, many families worried about their plight when the man, who was in most cases the sole breadwinner, died of HIV-related complications. Our organisation handled many cases of widows and orphans who were disinherited; some even when the man of the house was on his deathbed.  Men are, generally, health slouches. There is need for men living with HIV to take better care of their health, and give their families the protection that only fathers can provide. Researchers have noted with concern that record HIV-infections […]
- [My autistic son has taught me a great deal](https://kenwakenya.org/my-autistic-son-has-taught-me-a-great-deal/): You all know that my five-year-old son, Israel (or Issa as we fondly call him), has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I have told you how — before and even after his diagnosis — I wrestled with accepting that my baby was autistic. Since I have lived with HIV for more than half of my life, many people would suppose that my son’s diagnosis with a lifelong medical condition would not drive me up the wall. Or that, at least, I would handle it better than most people because I have been there before. But nothing could be further from the […]
- [ CLIMATE CHANGE AWARENESS](https://kenwakenya.org/climate-change-awareness/): OUR APPROACH TO CLIMATE CHANGE AWARENESS We are passionate about raising awareness against climate change. And these are the steps we are taking to educate and sensitize members of our local communities about it. 1. Tree Planting Day: Join us for a day of planting native trees and shrubs in local parks. This activity helps improve air quality, provides habitat for wildlife, and beautifies our community. Do you love nature and want to make a positive impact on the environment? If so, you are invited to join us for a fun and rewarding day of tree planting in our local parks. […]
- [I want to take charge of my life, with divine help](https://kenwakenya.org/charge-of-my-life-with-divine-help/): EVERY WOMAN has an “on-it” tray, in which she has pressing personal, psychological and professional issues she is dealing with. Sometimes she is, ahem, on-it on a l-o-o-ng-term basis. At other times it is an on-and-off fling.
- [Here is what every HIV-positive father should give his children](https://kenwakenya.org/here-is-what-every-hiv-positive-father-should-give-his-children/): In the 80s to mid-90s, before the advent of drugs to prolong lives of HIV-positive people, many families worried about their plight when the man, who was in most cases the sole breadwinner, died of HIV-related complications.
- [Water hygiene and sanitation WASH](https://kenwakenya.org/water-hygiene-and-sanitation-wash/): Our goal is: to end Preventable Child Deaths from Pneumonia and Diarrhea by 2025. The activities:
