The Road Towards HIV Free Society

The road towards HIV-free society project is funded by Global Fund through Kenya Red Cross Society. Deaf Empowerment Kenya is one of the sub-recipients contracted by the Kenya Red Cross Society to roll out the project in Machakos and Kathiani Sub Counties since 2012. Through DEK initiatives the below have been realized:

  • Increased access to Prevention of Mother To Child Transmission (PMTCT) uptake by antenatal mothers
  • Health facilities are ready and equipped to address EMTCT
  • Increased knowledge, attitude, and belief in the need for PMTCT in the community
  • Increased participation and visibility of community health workers toward the elimination of other child transmission
  • Quality access to Home and Community Based Care (HCBC ) Services
  • Reduction of HIV/AIDs related mortality and morbidity rates at the community levels
