More than 200 amateur golfers will converge at the third edition of AHF Chairman’s Golf Challenge at the par 71 Muthaiga Golf Club course today.

The event has attracted top golfers including club members, ladies, staff players, guests and juniors.

For the past few years, the event was held at Kiambu Golf Club and will be staged in Muthaiga for the first time.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) Kenya, who are celebrating their 10th anniversary in Kenya, hope for a successful event.

“We are excited to grace the ‘home of golf’ in Muthaiga and this is one of the concepts we have had over the years as part of the strategies of engaging industry captains in HIV interventions including highlighting avenues for Public-Private partnerships.

"The AHF Kenya Chairman’s tourney seeks to leverage on sports to reach out to the high end Kenyans, captains of industry and senior government officials with a message of HIV/AIDS. After years at Kiambu, we are now in the home of golf and hope to visit several other courses countrywide,” AHF Kenya Chairman Stephen Karau said.

AHF deals with HIV prevention, treatment and advocacy. They conduct free HIV testing, provide free condoms and treatment to all Kenyans. They currently operate in nine counties, Nairobi, Makueni, Mombasa, Kilifi, Homabay, Kisii, Kwale, Muranga and Turkana serving more than 51,000 clients in the HIV care and treatment program
