Kenya Joins HIV DREAMS Project
Voice of America - Kenya will be included in the DREAMS project. This project under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAIR) is especially designed to protect adolescent girls from getting infected with HIV/AIDS.
Dr. Deborah Birx, the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and in charge of PEPFAR stated: “DREAMS is a very exciting new program for us where the D stands for determine, the R for resilient, the E for empowered, the A for AIDS-free and the M for mentored and the S for safe. And that acronym – that combination of items – we think is really going to be key to keep young women HIV-free."
