Most of the HIV/AIDS caregivers in Kenya live in various parts of
the country and share many of the trials and tribulations
associated with providing care to someone suffering from a terminal
illness. Some have been forced into the role due to the death of
their love one, while others may have voluntarily taken on the
responsibility on a firm belief that the care they provide will
make a difference. The experiences shared in this book capture some
of day-to-day political, social, economic, cultural challenges and
obstacles encountered by the HIV/AIDS caregivers in Nairobi, Kenya.
Caregiver challenges are reviewed and recommendations are offered
on the way forward. It also explores the role of the church and
international social work in addressing international issues.
