Every contribution makes a difference
At Kar Geno, we believe that hope is a powerful catalyst for change. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has had a profound impact on the communities of Western Kenya, leaving many families struggling to recover. Women, in particular, are often left to shoulder the burdens of the crisis, caring for their children and trying to rebuild their lives. With your support, we can provide resources they need to rebuild their lives, regain their dignity and create a better future.
