It is now more than two decades since the discovery of the AIDS virus. But despite huge advances in the prevention and treatment of the disease, AIDS continues to decimate communities across Africa. This is the story of one such community in Kenya.
Please take a moment to watch and grasp this horrifying story about a small village at the shores of the great Lake Victoria.

About IRIN: “IRIN’s principal role is to provide news and analysis about sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia for the humanitarian community. The networks target decision-makers in relief agencies, host and donor governments, human-rights organisations, humanitarian advocacy groups, academic institutions and the media. At the same time, IRIN strives to ensure that affected communities can also access reliable information, so they can take informed decisions about their future.
IRIN (The Integrated Regional Information Networks) is part of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, but its services are editorially independent. Its reports do not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations and its agencies, nor its member states. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, IRIN was founded in 1995 to improve the flow of vital information to those involved in relief efforts in the Great Lakes region following the 1994 Rwandan genocide.”
