The Kenyan Network of Women with Aids - KENWA Kenwa is our partner organisation in Kenya. It runs community care centres
in and around Nairobi which provides services for HIV and Aids patients and their children. It has an office in Nairobi which
provides refuge and emergency services.
So many orphans were brought to Kenwa that it opened a residential home for 40 in Muranga near Nairobi. It's hard-going
to provide for these children, so money from the School Meal Deal will go to pay the food bill for the home. Kenwa is run by Asunta Wagura and her team in Nairobi,
and by dedicated volunteers in the community centres

Zimbabwe
Schools for Africa works with an organisations providing residential and community based care in
Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is one of the countries most affected by HIV and Aids, and there are
over 1,200,000 orphans there. Schools for Africa help is especially appreciated.
