Members of the National Empowerment Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya (NEPHAK) held a peaceful procession along Parliament Road on January 16, 2026, to show their support for the government of Kenya and the U.S. Government’s Bilateral Cooperation Framework. 

The framework focuses on funding programs for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), malaria, and other global health priorities.

The march brought together hundreds of NEPHAK members, health advocates, and community leaders who carried banners and placards highlighting the importance of continued support for health programs. 

The demonstrators emphasized the need for sustained funding to ensure people living with HIV/AIDS and other health conditions have access to treatment and care.

During the procession, NEPHAK representatives urged the government and international partners to continue prioritizing health initiatives that directly impact vulnerable populations. 

They highlighted that partnerships, such as the one with the United States, are critical in providing life-saving medications, improving healthcare infrastructure, and supporting community-based programs across the country.

“Support from the government and international partners is essential for keeping our communities healthy and ensuring that those living with HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria can access the care they need,” said a NEPHAK spokesperson during the march.

Participants also called for awareness campaigns to continue educating the public about prevention, testing, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and other diseases. 

They emphasized that funding alone is not enough; community engagement and education remain key to controlling the spread of these illnesses.

The peaceful march was orderly, with demonstrators maintaining public safety while delivering their message. 

Security officers were present to ensure that the procession went smoothly along Parliament Road, and no incidents were reported.
