Where We Work

Over the past five years, HIV/AIDS has claimed the lives of more than 20 million worldwide; 2.9 million of these died in 2006 alone and 99% in developing countries. Today, an estimated 40 million live with the disease daily, 24.5 million of these live in Sub-Saharan Africa. (Ref: UNAIDS media advisory May 2007)

In Kenya today approximately 1.1 million people are living with the virus - a reduction from 2.2 million in 2005. (Ref: National AIDS Control Council NACC August 2007)

ACE Africa works in areas of acute need -
