Kenya Network of Women with AIDS (KENWA) is a grassroots community based organization, which was founded in 1993 by women living with HIV/AIDS who were rejected by their families due to their HIV status.

At the time it served as a meeting group for experience sharing and consolation. KENWA gained NGO status in 1998 with a membership of 32 HIV positive women. Currently the organization has a membership of over 10,000 women living with HIV/AIDS and over 5,000 orphaned and vulnerable children.

Testimonial

Earlier this month, I was in Kenya and I had a chance of visiting the Orphanage in Makuyu with my family (Friday 6th August). I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was enlightened as to how the funds raised by St. Gregory’s students are used to help with the running of the orphanage. My family & I were thoroughly impressed with the good work that goes on and I hope it continues for many years to come.

"I would like to say thank you once again for the wonderful work that is carried out by KENWA and all the staff and I pray that God may bless all the work done to help ensure that the children have a good life while in a loving family setting.."

When I made intial contact with Head Office at KENWA before visiting the orphanage, I had promised that I would visit after the initial visit to the orphanage, but unfortunately due to family commitments while in Kenya, I was unable to make the visit and also unable to make further contact while in Kenya. As I write to you, I am back in the UK and preparing to go back to school within the coming week.
It was unfortunate I was unable to meet Asunta and the rest of the staff at Head Office but I’m hoping that during a future visit I will get another opportunity to visit Head Office as well as the orphanage again.
