Amid a freeze on foreign aid, the Kenya Red Cross Society — one of the principal recipients of Global Fund support— has intensified initiatives aimed at preventing new HIV infections, especially among mothers and their children.
Among the core interventions are early enrolment into Antenatal Clinic (ANC) and use of mentor mothers. The mentors are women living with HIV who offer peer support, counselling, and follow-up to pregnant women and new mothers.
