Hope in a Time of Uncertainty

Global health is in a time of rapid change and uncertainty. Funding priorities are shifting. For AMPATH, that means new challenges but also new opportunities. With the end of USAID on July 1, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and other foreign aid funding has transitioned to the U.S. State Department. We anticipate that funding for HIV care and treatment programs funded through PEPFAR will continue through March 2026 with further reductions in funding anticipated after March. PEPFAR funding has ended for programs focused on orphans and vulnerable children without HIV, family planning and HIV prevention programs including those focused on adolescent girls and young women. AMPATH leaders are working with county and national leaders to design and implement solutions that ensure continued access to care. This includes developing models that integrate HIV care into Government of Kenya-supported primary care and chronic disease care structures. Our mission is strong because it’s built on partnership with the public health system, not apart from it.

When a funding pause threatened HIV care for 127,000 patients earlier this year, AMPATH donors jumped in to make sure care never stopped. Donors recently helped 5,000+ girls to complete a life-changing HIV prevention and empowerment curriculum. By giving to the AMPATH, you are part of a group of problem-solving donors committed to helping people who need it most.
