WHO WE ARE
A Woman-Led Voice for Health Rights
FAWS Women Org brings together People Living with HIV — women, girls, children and their caregivers — in a network of support and advocacy. For 18 years we have worked to ensure no one is left behind in Kenya’s health system.
Founded on the conviction that Our Health Is Wealth, we work where the need is greatest — in communities, schools, churches, and county health forums across Nakuru.

Each programme is designed and delivered by women, for women — grounded in real community need.

A STORY FROM OUR WORK
“I joined the mother-to-mother group when I was afraid. Today, my baby is one year old and HIV-negative. FAWS gave me the knowledge — and the courage — to fight for both of us.”
— Mary W. · PMTCT Programme Member, Nakuru County
