The organization was started in 1993 by 5 HIV infected women who had been rejected by their families because of their HIV status. At that time, it served as a meeting group for experience sharing and consolation. The meeting group (now KENWA) gained NGO status in 1998 with a membership of 32 HIV infected women. Presently, the organization has a membership of over 4000 women living with HIV and AIDS and over 1500 orphans and vulnerable children. KENWA, by virtue of being an organization founded by women has a positive bias towards initiatives involving women. |
