Conclusion
Over the past 27 years, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in our country has escalated enormously. According to a
World Health Organization (WHO) report 2007, there are currently 1.5 million infected people living in
the country. This project is specifically aimed at ensuring that every Orphans and Vulnerable Children
and other people living with HIV/AIDS in the country has the social, psychological and material support
required to fulfill his/her potential. This because silence surrounds children and that of their parents are
affected by HIV/AIDS and the inaction that results is morally reprehensible and unacceptable. If this
situation is not addressed, and not addressed now with increased urgency, millions of children and their
parents will continue to die, and tens of millions more will be further marginalized, stigmatized,
malnourished, uneducated, and psychologically damaged. “In Kenya HIV and AIDS or Orphan and
vulnerable children is a national problem! ‘‘Each day children all over the country increase steadily after
the death of their parents, due to HIV/AIDS disease and poverty. The problem is getting worse. It is an
epidemic: Hence our program is needed more in Kenya compared to other countries.
