The Family AIDS Initiative Response (FAIR) is an NGO in Kenya. FAIR addresses the challenges faced by children who have either been orphaned by AIDS or live with parents who are sick or dying from AIDS-related illnesses. FAIR is involved in implementing the Preventing Orphaning Initiative (TPOI), named Nuru ya Jamii (Light of the Family), a programme funded by Family Health International. Through this project FAIR has helped over 1,300 children with their education, providing school uniforms, textbooks, desks and chairs and writing materials. The programme also incorporates sex workers and truckers by providing training in alternative livelihoods for single mother sex workers; skills update training in negotiation for correct and consistent condom use, and information for the truckers who are the clients of sex workers.
