 WORLD AIDS DAY

👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆

Every year on 1st December, the world comes together to mark World AIDS Day, a moment to honor those whose lives are affected by HIV, remember those we have lost, and reinforce our shared commitment to end the stigma surrounding the virus. This year's global theme is "Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response". It reminds us that ending AIDS is not just a health issue, but a collective responsibility grounded in compassion, awareness, and community support.



At Optiven Foundation, we believe that every individual deserves dignity, hope and equal opportunity regardless of their health condition.

In 2022, the Optiven Foundation visited Nairobi West Prison and Kamiti Prison during AIDS Day where they donated sanitary and hygiene items to inmates and warders as part of its support efforts.
Optiven has supported children's homes for orphans affected by HIV/AIDS. For example, they have contributed to Soweto Children's Home in Kayole a home for children abandoned due to HIV or have lost parents to the disease. The home was previously in semi-permanent housing, but with support from Optiven a new home was completed to give the children safer, more stable accommodation. https://www.optivenfoundation.org/news-and-blogs/optiven-foundation-to-unveil-new-home-at-kayole-childrens-home/


The Foundation's "Health and Dignity" pillar includes support for health and hygiene-related initiatives, which ties into their broader commitment of supporting those impacted by HIV/AIDS. Through this initiative the Optiven Foundation promotes access to health information that empowers families and communities to make informed decisions. https://www.optiven.co.ke/newsblogs/optiven-team-leader-empowers-students-at-kenyatta-university/


As we mark World AIDS Day, Optiven Foundation invites Kenyans and the global community to show solidarity with people living with HIV. The Optiven Foundation remains committed to walking this journey, promoting hope, compassion and sustainable support for all.

SMART OFFICIAL POVERTY

 *POVERTY WEARS A SUIT IN THE CITY TOO.* In CITY , poverty doesn’t always wear torn clothes. Sometimes it wears a sharp suit, a fresh haircut, shiny shoes… and crippling debt. Let’s expose the damn truth: BRUTAL THREAD: 1️⃣ He Walks Into Town Every Morning, Clean And Polished. Holding a hot cappuccino from an overpriced coffee shop, smiling like he’s made it. But deep down? He’s one bad month away from collapse. 2️⃣ Behind That Suit: 🧾 He’s living paycheck to paycheck. 🏠 Renting a bedsitter or one-bedroom in Nairobi. No land, no title deed, no fallback plan. 💰 No emergency fund, no life insurance, no medical cover. 😔 No investments, no side hustle. 🕳 Just debts, silent pressure, and fake confidence. 3️⃣ Modern Poverty In Nairobi Is Polished, Presentable, And Privately Panicking. It looks successful until life throws one punch — a job loss, a hospital bill, a funeral. Then the mask falls. 4️⃣ If You Died Today, Would Your Parents, Wife, Or Kids Survive The Storm? Or would your ...

GET RICH, GET WEALTHY, ITS NOT A SIN. THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

  My desire to succeed in life was inspired mostly by my upbringing. We were born in a peasant family in the slopes of Mount Kenya, a county known as Kirinyaga. Our family was poor, but I salute my Dad Mr. Jeremiah and my late Mum Mama Alice Jeremiah, may she rest in peace. Irrespective of the hardships of bringing three children without a formal job, they were reputed small scale farmers. They used to sell horticultural seedlings to earn a daily bread.  Many are the days we slept hungry when the seedlings couldn’t move. But, that never made us give up, instead it was a stepping stone to my strong faith and desire to succeed. During my younger years, my dad used to take me to Sacco meetings and cooperative forums where he would enroll for saving schemes and buying shares. The small sacrifices he made back then was part of what supported him take us to higher education. Success in life is coupled with a lot of sacrificing. Its not an overnight thing, its not magic, IT’S A JOURN...
