In collaboration with Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), we support the introduction and scale-up of long-acting PrEP options, including Lenacapavir (LEN), by creating community demand, strengthening prevention literacy, building the capacity of communities and healthcare providers, and facilitating linkages to comprehensive HIV prevention services. Our work aims to increase awareness, improve equitable access, and support informed choice among individuals at substantial risk of HIV.
Partnership is at the heart of impact.
At NEPHAK, we believe lasting change is only possible when we work side by side with others who share our vision. Through partnerships with government, community organizations, and global institutions, we amplify voices and extend the reach of our impact. Together, we are building healthier, more resilient communities across Kenya and beyond.
