In Nanyuki, Kenya, aid workers express deep concern over U.S. President Trump's potential cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). They fear these changes could jeopardize essential resources for HIV treatment, as Kenya heavily relies on U.S. funding for its healthcare initiatives. The case of Joseph Awoi, an HIV-positive culinary student, illustrates the personal stakes involved. Aid workers stress that beyond statistics, lives are at risk without adequate support, highlighting the urgent need for continued international aid to manage health crises effectively.
"It's a situation that's still unfolding here. It's under the radar, people don't think about it. People need to know there are real people who are without the resources they need to survive."
"In my judgment, it will mean people will die unnecessarily. It's a concern. It's a real issue."
