Improve Livelihoods of 225 HIV-Affected Families

Our beneficiaries are progressing on well despite the corova virus cases in the country.  Initially when the first case was reported in Kenya in March, our beneficiaries who are HIV positive were very stressed and worried.  Of course we were all were but due to their health status they were more scared and considered themselves helpless, they called us often for advice and guidance and we encouraged them to stay home,  avoid socializing,  washing hands regularly, eating healthy and observing general hygiene.  In some parts of the country the victims feared even to go to the health centres for their drugs an initial which was very concerning and later they were assured safety in health centres and they were encouraged to continue with medication.           We did not receive such case from our beneficiaries but we have continued to encourage them to go for the drugs once they finish.  They are happy they have a lot of farm produce in their gardens thus ensuring that they are food secure.  They are also selling the surplus for income generation during these difficult moments in the country.  Most citizens in the country are food insecure as a result of the pandemic as they don’t have any income.   We appreciate the effort of our beneficiaries s they have been working hard in their farms and the weather has really favoured them since the beginning of the year.  It has been raining and they have taken advantage of the on going rains.  They ready farm produce in their gardens and they are also planting more.  We are proud of this project and our beneficiaries too as they have owned the project to improve their living standards as well as their status.  We thank you all for your generosity and your continued support and together we have great achievements
