Tegemeza

About Tegemeza Programme

Tegemeza was a 5-year project funded by PEPFAR through CDC to support the implementation and expansion of high-quality HIV Care and Prevention in Central Kenya.

CHS was awarded the Tegemeza grant as one of two local entities funded to implement HIV services in Central Kenya. This was part of a move by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to transition work done by international entities to local organizations. Following a competitive process, CHS received a grant to implement this work in most parts of Central Kenya except Kirinyaga County and parts of Kiambu County where a different local entity was funded to support implementation.
