All of us, together—working to prevent the spread of AIDS by helping vulnerable people build self-sustaining communities. We cultivate local leadership, educate those most at risk, and share resources from around the world.

Welcome to SOTENI INTERNATIONAL

"SOTENI" comes from the Swahili phrase sisi sote, pamoja, 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 people 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.
