Our Mission Statement

is designed to meet critical health needs of impoverished communities afflicted with HIV/AIDS in rural Kenya through strengthening the capacity of local healthcare institutions. MRA accomplishes this goal through mobilizing and leveraging resources from governments, communities, hospitals, partners and individuals with an aim of enhancing sustainable and cost-effective approaches to saving lives. To date, MRA estimates that medical supplies and equipment that amount to over $300,000 have been collected in the US and distributed to healthcare institutions throughout Kenya.

Our microenterprise project that works with rural households impacted with HIV/AIDS to fight the effects of malnutrition and poverty often characteristic of communities ravaged by this Disease. Goat Hope focuses on enhancing the health and economic outlook of people affected with HIV/AIDS by gifting them with dairy goats that improves their nutrition through goat milk consumption while supplementing the household income through the sale of surplus milk.

Each Goat Hope project usually works with six beneficiary households of people affected with HIV/AIDS, that represents 36 children men and women per community. This project costs $4,000 on average resulting to increased income of over 130% in the first year of the project! Our beneficiaries are often able to rise above the UN defined poverty line before the third year of the project.

aims to provide education and evidence-based HIV infection prevention services to communities most impacted with HIV/AIDS. Our single most effective strategy has been to align our program goals with Kenya government's. That is, testing all HIV at risk adults by the end of next year. MRA's voluntary HIV counseling and testing (VCT)campaigns target rural dwellers who are most underserved and have highest risk of mortality when infected due to the conditions of poverty and disease already prevalent in their communities. The challenge has been to sustain our VCT campaigns.
