In July 2007, AHF Kenya launched HIV/AIDS services at the Mtongwe Municipal Council Clinic in the Coast Region, partnering with the Walter Reed Project and the Municipal Council of Mombasa. Despite high HIV stigma at the time, the clinic enrolled its first client that same month—a client who remains in care today.

Today, the program in the Coast Region is AHF Kenya’s largest, supporting over 40,000 clients across the counties of Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, and Taita Taveta, with a dedicated team of 110 employees.

In May 2008, AHF opened its second clinic in Kithituni, Makueni County. Initially managed by the Salvation Army Church, the clinic faced significant challenges due to its remote location and high levels of stigma. Over time, it transitioned to the Sultan Hamud Sub-County Hospital as part of service integration efforts, providing holistic care. Now part of AHF’s central region, which includes Nairobi, Makueni, and Murang’a counties, the clinic supports 8,979 clients. Together, the central region serves over 28,000 clients with a team of 88 employees.

AHF Kenya operates in 10 counties, including Nairobi, Murang’a, Makueni, Taita Taveta, Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Kisii, Homabay, and Turkana. In 2023, AHF celebrated 15 years of service in Kenya, marking a milestone of over 100,000 clients in care.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health, AHF Kenya implements HIV primary prevention initiatives such as free HIV testing and counseling, condom education and distribution, adolescent and youth programs, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). The program’s targeted approach also identifies people living with HIV who are out of care, linking them to essential services.

AHF Kenya’s strategic partnerships include collaborations with national and county governments, NASCOP, NSDCC, and civil society organizations such as NEPHAK, KANCO, KELIN, and HENNET. Together, these partnerships drive impactful programs and expand access to comprehensive HIV care across the country.
