The Society for Women
and Aids in Kenya (SWAK) is an affiliate organisation
of the Society for Women and Aids in Africa (SWAA)
which is a continental body that seek to advocate
on behalf of women, children and families in the
fight against HIV/AIDS. SWAK was founded on the
principles of SWAA and seeks to empower women
in Kenya to overcome the effects of HIV/AIDS.
Over time we have developed
our national tenets to give us our image and expound
our purpose to serve our target community. These
include a vision, mission and values binding our
members into a team pursuing a common purpose.
The tenets are articulated here below:
Our vision
Our vision is a society
free of HIV/AIDS where everyone lives a dignified
life
Our mission
Our mission is to mobilise
and empower women, girls and the greater community
to reduce their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS through
advocacy, networking and strengthening capacity
within the community.
