Indiana-Kenya Partnership

In 1989, Indiana University School of Medicine and Moi University School of Medicine agreed to join together to develop leaders in health care for both the U.S. and Africa. That mission inspired this team to provide invaluable training to future generations of health care providers in both continents.

At the turn of the century, in the face of the deadliest pandemic in human history, IU and Moi responded by creating one of Africa’s largest, most comprehensive and effective HIV/AIDS control systems.

The Indiana-Kenya Partnership responded to the HIV/AIDS crisis by creating the Academic Model for Prevention and Treatment of HIV/AIDS (AMPATH), which treats over 60,000 HIV-positive patients at 18 sites in both urban and rural Kenya.

AMPATH also:

Protects babies by blocking mother-to-child transmission of HIV
at birth.
Prevents HIV/AIDS through outreach to encourage safe practices, prevent the spread of the disease, and confront the deadly effects of HIV/AIDS stigma.
Fights hunger through providing food security programs. With high-production farms and demonstration farms, we provide food assistance to up to 30,000 people per month.
Builds self-sufficiency through offering income security programs including skills training, micro-financing, a fair-trade-certified crafts workshop and an agricultural co-operative.
Helps orphans and vulnerable children by providing school fees, clothing and food to thousands of Kenyan children orphaned by AIDS.

Please check the AMPATH section to learn more about these initiatives.

Even as we expand our HIV/AIDS care, we are working to build capacity to care for mothers and babies, treat cancer patients, perform surgeries and insure safe water for the areas we serve. And we continue our focus on training the next generation of leaders.
