Welcome to SOTENI International
Nair
"SOTENI" comes from the Swahili phrase sisi sote, meaning "All of us, together." Together, we can make a difference, starting in Kenya.
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the orphans and other vulnerable children who have been most affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. We support communities, called Villages of Hope, that prevent and reduce the effects of the disease while they support the children.
SOTENI's Six Main Principles
S ustainability via community leadership
O pportunity to maximize everyone's gifts
T raining "barefoot doctors" to fight AIDS
E pidemiology to evaluate and improve our efforts
N etworking to benefit from existing assets
I nterdependence that connects us all as we benefit from our work together
