PATHFINDER INTERNATIONAL AND USAID
Pathfinder International’s project Afya Pwani aims at ending the AIDS epidemic. To this end Pathfinder International and Kinondo Kwetu Medical center cooperate to improve the lives of the more than 700 HIV-infected patients which regularly visit the clinic. Deliveries at the facility prevent transmission of HIV from mother to baby. The babies are then closely monitored for 5 years to ensure that they stay negative.
The cooperation project between Pathfinder International and Kinondo Kwetu Medical center is financed by USAID.

SOLVATTEN
Many of the diseases among the Kinondo inhabitants are caused by unclean water. The Swedish invention, Solvatten, makes it possible to purify water with the help of the sun. Kinondo Kwetu Medical Center has received Solvatten units, that have been distributed to persons in Kinondo with especially strong needs for clean water, like mothers with newborn babies. This has resulted in fewer cases of diarrhoea. Also, the hot water that is generated by Solvatten, saves a lot of time and work to gather wood for cooking.
