Previous Grants Received

Open Society Institute (OSI) - (November 2009) general support of the East African Center

National AIDS Control Council (NACC) - (August 2009) through the initiative and leadership of Mohamed Said, Head Community Health Worker, the EAC was just awarded a grant from the Kenyan National AIDS Control Council (NACC). This grant will provide necessary training and supplies for CHWs to test, council, and treat individuals with HIV/AIDS in their villages and homes. The grant also provides for the surveying of the furthest area of the Takaungu sub-location, called Mavunei.

Finally, through the fulfillment of this grant and the expansion of the CHW program, the CHW program will be realigned to meet Kenyan Ministry standards and to work in conjunction with the public CHW program instead of as a parallel service. This is just one way that the EAC is partnering with and expanding the capacity of public services systems to provide sustainable access to health and education.
