Putting community at the forefront

Living positive each and every day is not a walk in the park. You face all the odds from unlikely quarters, some are your friends, colleagues, family etc. Everyday I receive phonecalls on crosscutting issues from meds stockouts, #GBV, lost to follow, none adherence to #HIV and #TB meds,human rights violations and supporting Grassroot advocates.I do all this on voluntary basis thanks to organizations like @KELINKenya, @gnpplus through Candlelight Memorial for entrusting me as National Coordinator for Kenya. National Aids Control Council Kenya 🇰🇪 and Centre for Global Health and Research, Kisumu Kenya 🇰🇪 as a representative of people living with HIV in the Community Advisory Board 

My heart is in the Grassroots . Unknown to many this is where we need a lot of investment unfortunately there is none or people with power do not simply care to tap the wealth of knowledge in  communities as they are academic

. Mere talk and lots of literature without practical aspect is failing us. 

There is need for reorganization for the infected and affected communities at the #Grassroots to take charge and do away with #AIDS by 2030. Let communities be at the centre not the sidelines. Don't give up the fight
