Located in Nairobi, Kenya, Nyumbani Children’s Home has been a beacon of hope for children like two-year-old Evans, who arrived at the orphanage a year ago suffering from HIV and tuberculosis. The home, which cares for around 100 children, has been reliant on antiretroviral medication provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Kenyan government.
However, a recent executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump to freeze USAID’s funding has put the children’s access to life-saving antiretroviral drugs in jeopardy. The order, which seeks to review U.S. foreign aid for 90 days, has already led to the shutdown of USAID, impacting humanitarian programs globally.
