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 battling HIV and tuberculosis. The home, supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), provides life-saving antiretroviral medication to Evans and around 100 other children.
However, recent political decisions made by US President Donald Trump have put the future of these children in jeopardy. Trump's executive order to freeze USAID funding has cast a shadow of uncertainty over Nyumbani's access to essential antiretroviral drugs, which are crucial in managing HIV.
