Soteni International

SOTENI is on the front lines of fighting pandemics with some of the most vulnerable people, those living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.

Our mission is anchored in the collective well-being of communities in rural Kenya and responsiveness to emerging community needs. In 2020, our mission expanded to reflect the work being led by SOTENI community health workers in the field and the emergence of new pandemic, COVID-19. SOTENI’s mission - to prevent and mitigate the effects of disease, especially HIV/AIDS through community-based programs now includes the prevention and mitigation of COVID-19. Our geographic footprint has also expanded and now encompasses Eswatini (formerly Swaziland)
