In Kenya, there are an estimated 1.5 million people living with
HIV/AIDS. Nyanza Province, in western Kenya, has been the most
severely affected; it has the highest prevalence in the country
at 14.9% compared to 7.1% countrywide. FACES works
collaboratively with the Kenya Ministry of Health and other
local partners to support and strengthen local capacity for
quality HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in Nyanza
province and Nairobi. FACES works to provide family-centered,
comprehensive, compassionate care, and build the foundation for
long-term, sustainable treatment. FACES is a University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Kenya Medical Research
Institute (KEMRI) collaborative partnership. It was funded in
September 2004 by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS
Relief (PEPFAR)/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC). Learn more about FACES’ Health and Support services,
