Comfort the Children International HIV/AIDS Program in partnership with AIDSRELIEF Kijabe and other stakeholders celebrated World Aids Day in Mai Mahiu town on the 1st of December 2010.

This day was a success since we were able to reach about 2000 people. This success is measured by the fact that we distributed to individuals more than 2500 pamphlets bearing the message of that day.
