Kenya is no stranger to the AIDS virus. Currently, Kenya has an AIDS prevalence rate of ~5% which, with a total population of just over 30 million means that ~1.5 million people are infected with the disease. In the spirit of the day, I decided to get involved with a few other staff from CHD in the World AIDS day activities in Mombasa. CHD, as part of the Aga Khan Health Services which is a larger part of the Aga Khan Development Network joined forces with some other AKDN agencies (both development and for-profit) to create one AKDN team. Other agencies included Serena hotels, Jubilee insurance, and Aga Khan schools (its crazy just how big the AKDN really is and how many different industries it covers). The day began with a march through the streets of Mombasa from the provincial commissioners house to the Mombasa Municipal Stadium.
