KASH

Keeping Alive Societies’ Hope (KASH) was established in 2003 in Kisumu, Kenya’s third largest city located in the west of the country on the shore of Lake Victoria. Initially, KASH focused on the prevention of HIV/AIDS, training sex workers working on the streets, in local bars and along the lakeshores to reach out to their peers to distribute condoms and safe sex information. Sex workers enthusiastically supported the distribution of health materials, but they also made it clear to KASH that they were equally concerned about how to protect themselves from police and others in the community who abused and harassed them.
