RESPONDING TO A CRISIS. THEN BUILDING A FUTURE.
Some of our first and most vital tasks in Kenya were in response to the HIV & AIDS pandemic. But right from the beginning, we knew the true needs of the community were so much larger, and expanded our efforts to serve not just patients, but an entire population.
Today, AMPATH Kenya provides not only treatment and care, but also programs that help patients take hold of their economic independence and their futures. And AMPATH's training, technology, and research go beyond Kenya to serve the whole world.

EMPOWERING KENYANS TO GROW THEIR OWN STABLE FUTURES.
